[01:20] Kismet, that will probably do it, or you can do lsmod and insmod, but not sure what the names are, look for some hal or usb stuff, anyway here is the link http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Known_Problems_with_Auto-Loading [01:20] I'm attemping to compile a kernel with rt support but my question is do I have to have the exact same rt patch version to do properly [01:20] [ my main ubuntu install works fine and loads fine, its the new install that I cannot access [01:20] the same kernel patch version as the kernel itself === roman is now known as Guest41611 [01:20] I currently have the error "out of disk" upon an attempt to boot ubuntu. I managed to boot up by commenting out the line: "if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi" in grub... but I need to know what's wrong so I can just fix the problem. [01:21] thankx tp43 for your time [01:21] Kismet, its alright [01:21] Kismet, this one is probably better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [01:22] Demonous: I believe booting into recovery mode gives you an option of freeing up disk space [01:22] tp43, thank you for your hints ill try to reboot and after that those web pages [01:23] MightyTweek: I don't quite get how that would be relevant to the problem? Would you mind elaborating? [01:23] I want to patch my kernel right so I need to know if I would harm the system using a different version rt patch that is just a few numbers below or higher I can't find this info im looking for on google [01:25] Demonous: Just to clarify, is it Grub giving you an "out of disk" error? [01:25] hello [01:25] can anyone read this? [01:25] No [01:25] WE can not [01:25] ^^ :) [01:25] Is there anybody who does know a little bit about NP-complete Problems? [01:25] MightyTweek: yeah, and I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing it. [01:26] mark____, I know a little bit, although ##programming might be a better place for us to discuss that [01:26] I'm using Kernel version 2.6.26-21 latest kernel do I have to have that version for real time patching? [01:26] Because its no where to be found on google [01:27] Demonous: Understood. Sorry, I assumed it was Ubuntu giving you the error about being out of disk. Sorry, don't know offhand what to do about the grub error. [01:27] MightyTweek: I think I may have actually came across something. I appreciate it though. [01:30] If I have users on my system home directories in /home/users/username and I want to chmod /home/users/ so a user can't cd .. and see the list of other usernames, what chmod permissions do I need to use? [01:30] hello [01:31] hello [01:31] i clicked on a gnome panel and set it to autohide but it froze [01:31] Ahoy, all. [01:31] so i logged out/logged in and it wont open [01:31] Can someone help me with installing grub trough live cd === larry is now known as semitones_tea [01:31] how can I load ubuntu with ntldr? [01:31] Is there a way to share a terminal with another person, so the other can see what I'm typing? [01:31] <`mOOse`> heh [01:31] Pupeno: gnu screen [01:32] hullo, I'm in the livecd right now (just got a new machine), I'm not sure but you may be able to chroot from it [01:32] hullo: how do you use screen to do that? [01:32] hello guys, I have a problem with my sound. Everytime I boot after shutting down my computer, the sound is muted. How to solve this so that I don't have to unmute the sound everytime I start my computer? [01:32] Btoh sign into the screen session [01:32] err, that was directed to WaterRatj [01:33] ? [01:33] lol ? [01:33] hullo: If I have users on my system home directories in /home/users/username and I want to chmod /home/users/ so a user can't cd .. and see the list of other usernames, what chmod permissions do I need to use? [01:33] Okay what shall I do? [01:33] uncleD: i dont know [01:34] WaterRatj, what I typically do if grub gets clobbered is mount the root partition, chroot to that mountpoint, and then run grub [01:34] i clicked on a gnome panel and set it to autohide but it froze, where can i change the setting to not autohide [01:34] (Although I'm also a gentoo user and there may be a better way to do it in ubuntu) [01:34] wel i can't load anything, nd their is no ubuntu installed yet [01:34] i need grub to install trought live cd so it will run my windows so i can install ubuntu again [01:35] WaterRatj, oh, I see. So all you have to do is install ubuntu, then [01:35] can't thats the proble [01:35] Ubuntu will autoamtically detect Windows and account for it [01:35] can't load cd with that p [01:36] can only run live cd, have terrible cdrom drive, glad that i can even boot in livecd! [01:36] With regards to the 9.10 server edition, what exactly is the "Enterprise Cloud Server"? [01:36] WaterRatj, hmm... that's a pickle indeed. You can also put the installer on a USB stick, if I'm not mistaken [01:37] Either way ubuntu will automatically install grub for you [01:37] yet again can't load usb sticks :p [01:37] hello all, i repartitioned my windows partition trying to install debian alongside my ubuntu, and messed up grub. i reinstalled grub, but it didnt see my windows. i manually added the chainloader lines, but windows will not boot. any help? [01:37] You must be using an older machine [01:37] WaterRatj, you can mount a usb in a windows environment, and use wubi [01:37] WaterRatj: what kind of computer you have? [01:37] WaterRatj, sounds like the problem I had before. Took me a lot of tries to get xUbuntu installed on that machine, and afterward I decided I didn't dare try to change the OS again. [01:37] WaterRatj, that will install ubuntu for you [01:38] UncleD: sudo chmod go-r /home [01:38] adabuntu: the mbr is broken [01:38] else i would have done that [01:38] how do I edit the order of the entries in grub? /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exit [01:38] hi [01:38] *exist [01:38] can't start windows like i mentioned before [01:38] WaterRatj, the windows mbr? [01:38] i got docks [01:38] looks like its grub night [01:38] the hdd with the windows mbr on was formatted [01:38] WaterRatj, what windows are you running? [01:38] windows xp was runing before i messed it all up :p [01:39] WaterRatj, can you see the file system on there at all? [01:39] what you mean? [01:39] WaterRatj, or is it gone? [01:39] WaterRatj: cd drive is bad and too old to boot from USB? Try and make a plop boot manager floppy [01:39] lol no floopy drive :p [01:39] WaterRatj, are you in ubuntu or what are you in right now? [01:39] the bios supports it normmaly [01:39] WaterRatj: so you can try and boot from USB stick [01:39] but just doesn't load from usb [01:39] what does one do if he can't find a rt patch that matches his kernel [01:39] mdg, if the cdrom is bad, I'd hate to see what kind of condition the fdd is in, haha [01:40] WaterRatj, what os are you using right now, and is the drive in this box? [01:41] i clicked on a gnome panel and set it to autohide but it froze, where can i change the setting to not autohide [01:41] adambuntu: i'm using a live cd right now [01:41] WaterRatj, ok, does it see the ntfs partition from the windows xp? [01:41] hullo if you can right click bar , properties and uncheck it [01:41] yes [01:41] MightyTweek: thank you [01:41] sorry to spam, but how can I change the entries of grub if /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist? [01:41] WaterRatj, can you boot from the xp cd? [01:42] no :p thats the problem :p [01:42] trineox: i cant right click the bar [01:42] talonstriker: grub2 doesnt use menu.lst. do you have grub2? [01:42] cddrom is like broken or something, i'm glad i can run live cd [01:42] WaterRatj, it wont boot at all? [01:42] possibly...how can i check? [01:42] Only boots from live cd [01:42] hullo even if you restart then right click it? [01:43] WaterRatj, ok, if you got the livecd from ubuntu to boot, then you must have a problem with your xp cd [01:43] hullo: alt+f2,type in gconf-editor and run. then go to /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/top_panel/auto_hide [01:43] now i want to eiter fix mbr in linux or install grub from live cd [01:43] how can I retrive list of pakages installed on a 9.10 that doesnt boot, but I have access to all files [01:43] no [01:43] xp cd works on laptop [01:43] thecdrom is broken, i normmaly don't use it, but i can seem to use it to run live cd [01:43] WaterRatj: i recently used plop boot manager to make a boot floppy that would allow me to boot from a usb drive (not native for old P3 dell) [01:43] ardchoille: thank you [01:43] hullo: if you uncheck that and do "killall gnome-panel" it should be ok [01:43] WaterRatj, do u have room on the drive to put ubuntu on it/ [01:43] grub configuration is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [01:43] I can't find menu.lst on my system, I thought it was in /boot/grub/ [01:44] its a 40 gig and 120 gig drive [01:44] adso_: the comments in the file say that i'm not supposed to edit it [01:44] WaterRatj, install ubuntu on a small partition, and that will let you boot into windows too. then get a new cd rom drive, and replace that old pos [01:44] !grub2 [01:44] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:44] WaterRatj: I recently used linux to get data off crashed xp desktop [01:44] lol [01:44] that wiki link has lots of useful information [01:44] can't install anything :p [01:45] else i would arleady have unbuntu reinstalled [01:45] thanks trism [01:45] can only load live cd, not install from it [01:45] WaterRatj, take that pc out and shoot it [01:45] WaterRatj: can't install - due to not enough ram? [01:45] no its a fine pc, just the cdrom sucks :p [01:45] talonstriker: maybe too late, but there is something here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows theres a part that says 'are you using grub or grub2?" [01:45] no cd rom won't read [01:45] edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and line "set default" to change boot order [01:45] only small bits and enough to load live cd [01:46] WaterRatJ, can you put a different CD drive in for long enough to install Ubuntu? [01:46] adso_: not supposed to edit that file [01:46] if you want to change the boot order, edit /etc/default/grub, set GRUB_DEFAULT and run sudo update-grub, don't edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg unless you really need to [01:46] !grub2 | adso_ [01:46] adso_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:46] lol i wish, i was about to buy a cheap one, but its like 02:46 right now [01:46] WaterRatj: how old or new is this PC? [01:46] <`mOOse`> you can't manually edit grub.cfg because grub overwrites it === EtienneP_ is now known as EtienneP [01:47] ardchoille: thanks again that was hairy lol [01:47] i didnt know about gconf-editor [01:47] hullo: yw :) [01:47] mdg: 5 years, but still works perfectly, if i had a good cd-rom drive lol [01:47] hullo: Very handy app, you can change almost anything with it [01:48] WaterRatj, do you have anyone near you with a good cdrom? [01:48] how could i install the wireless driver for RealteK RTL8191SE? Laptop Toshiba Satellite L515, Ubuntu 9.10 [01:48] WaterRatj: so its a Pentium 3? [01:48] mdg: P4 and no its kinda late [01:49] WaterRatj: p4 can boot from USB - you have to choose harddrive and then it is an option under harddrive in your bios [01:49] m3F, I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 and here is what worked for me: run terminal and type [01:49] "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk" and after that is done go here and get the win2k driver. [01:49] Then I just unzipped the driver file into the download file. Then I clicked [01:49] system-administration-windows wireless driver, and searched for [01:49] for downloads - rtl8191 (the file that you unzipped)-91_92_SE_Driver-win2k-net8192se.inf [01:49] and click install and close. Worked for me hope it works for you! I had to use WPA Personal [01:49] adambuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:49] mdg: it has all the options, just doesn't want to load from bios, i don't get it [01:49] sorry... [01:49] I still have the same question though, as I'm sitting here installing it to try it out. What exactly does the Enterprise Cloud Server do? [01:50] thank you adambuntu [01:50] sorry guys [01:50] should have used pastebin [01:50] WaterRatj: i found that i had to use a usb slot on the back of the machine, not the ones that come to the front [01:50] discovering password archive .xls? [01:50] hi. just wondering, once you've pointed menu.lst to the latest image-headers can you delete the old linux-image-header files? [01:50] mdg: hmm lol i'll try that :p [01:50] heyy [01:51] WaterRatj, what machine is it? [01:51] WaterRatj, dell? [01:51] Inte [01:51] l [01:51] WaterRatj, maker? custom or hp or dell? [01:52] um, this isn't on topic but I just wanted to point this out: [01:52] [17:50] * robspierre Visit us at network chat and get bots + hosting special and free, /server IRC.ForChat.Net [01:52] no idea lol [01:52] that person just advertised me with that so yeah [01:52] thanks ^^ [01:52] RainbowEyes: Yeah, I got it too, was just testing it. [01:52] WaterRatj, im done trying to help you until you can help yourself. we need this kind of info to help you better. there are ways to fix it, but without the information on the machine, we are literally no good to you since you are shooting down all of our ideas [01:53] I'll manage on my own, i'm not shooting down on your ideas, you keep giving ideas that don't work, like when i said can't load usb , you guys say install usb [01:54] WaterRatj: in a terminal type 'dmesg | less' and you can find out what kind out all kinds of info [01:54] WaterRatj, without being able to access an external media, there is no way for us to tell you how to fix it. you need to mount an external device or media to fix it. === trovanon is now known as jones___________ [01:54] i find these guys very help full [01:55] hello [01:55] WaterRatj: if you have any info you can't loose, plug in a usb or something and save it before you start messing around [01:55] hi [01:55] how do i turn my ubuntu like this http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs140.snc3/18767_461756435236_882945236_10854708_2285272_n.jpg [01:56] AkhlD, enable compiz [01:56] Hello [01:56] akhld do you have compiz?? [01:56] lemme install it :D [01:56] its on software centre [01:57] what do I get to get jre in firefox [01:57] WaterRatj: I actually booted slax (very lightweight linux live CD) and copied the entire harddrive contents to a usb harddrive i had on-hand. [01:57] i see 4 Compiz stuffs [01:57] gonna install 4 of em :D [01:57] Compiz is installed [01:57] oredy [01:57] What do I have to change in sources.list to use unstable/testing? [01:57] I am with AkhlD [01:58] @thefirstdude You download the Sun Java Plugin [01:58] AkhlD, it may be installed already, but you have to go into System -> Preferences -> Visual Effects -> Normal [01:58] AkhlD, it is already installed, you just gotta turn it on [01:58] I'll try a few things and let you all know what works :p or in my case doesn't work :D [01:58] AkhlD: You must enable it [01:58] how ? [01:58] WaterRatj, if you get us some more information, we can help. [01:58] AkhlD, by following the instructions I just sent [01:58] @thefirstdude Just go to Add/Remove Applications and search Java, it will popup in the list, then install it. [01:58] i just turned on the WATER Effect like stuff [01:58] well that command mesg sees not working [01:59] AkhlD, that looks almost like the desktop cube plugin, but curvy. [01:59] WaterRatj, it could be because of the cdrom live image. [01:59] malsyned, to Normal ? [01:59] What is that feature that AkhlD pointed to, I wanna try it, is there a howto? [01:59] i'll try that using not the front usb ports to try and see if it boots from usb first [01:59] AkhlD, unless it's already on Extra [01:59] tp43, no idea [01:59] WaterRatj, do yourself a favor and back up the drive with the livecd to an external or something so you dont lose data [01:59] How to setup a kid account in ubuntu? [01:59] AkhlD, if you install compizconfig-settings-manager you can twiddle all kinds of 3D desktop settings. [01:59] can i get help? [02:00] carlll, just ask [02:00] There's nothing on the hdd's [02:00] ahan lemmme seee [02:00] only windows [02:00] ok i need help installing java [02:00] but thats the second hdd [02:00] is there any point to virtualizing multiple web servers on 2 physical servers and loadbalancing them via hardware loadbalancer [02:00] whats the current channel? [02:00] carlll, what kind of help? [02:00] AkhlD, malsyned is probably right, turn on the cube feature and adjust settings to make it rounded [02:00] installing Java [02:00] @carlll Just open Add/Remove Applications and search for Java. Once it pops up install it. [02:00] night [02:00] Any one? [02:00] tp43, lemme try [02:00] PlaHPoy, yes, for several reasons, but they may not be applicable to your needs [02:01] carlll, multiverse has a sun-java-jdk package if I'm not mistaken [02:01] for web servers [02:01] AkhlD, install compiz-fusion-icon [02:01] ok let me startup my computer === jones___________ is now known as trovanon [02:01] PlaHPoy, the tendency of a web server is to be on a dmz, and isolated from your main network. is there any reason to run any of those inside your main network? [02:02] tp43, installed [02:02] gi pa === litorcino is now known as litATubu [02:02] i'm tryin to figure out how to boot ubuntu on my iMac with a usb flash drive can anyone help please? === dani is now known as Guest25333 [02:03] linusoleander: I've often wondered the same. [02:03] ng gendi saiki [02:03] its in a colo [02:03] just 2 servers [02:03] CCC_: intel or PPC? [02:03] how do you use the desktop cube feature, I just enabled it [02:03] how to send mails using terminal. Or is there any app to do that? [02:04] PlaHPoy, colo? [02:04] intel [02:04] mdg: intel [02:04] I am having printer and folder sharing problems with a windows XP box. Anyone have time to troubleshoot with me? [02:04] adambuntu: in a colocation data center [02:04] on oc48 [02:04] litATubu: mutt (can do gmail too) [02:04] client is asking me to set it up [02:04] but i see no need [02:04] thanks mdg, hotmail also? [02:05] PlaHPoy, then yes. dependent upon if the application requires 64/32 bit architecture, etc. look at vmware esx for your solution. [02:05] litATubu: i dont [02:05] ok i dual booted on windows xp how do i set linux as the normal bootup? [02:05] litATubu: i don't think it does hotmail, but i could be wrong [02:05] ok, thanks. [02:05] he has on each system a virtual mysql / web / pound [02:05] litATubu: your welcome [02:05] 1 instance each [02:05] makes no sense [02:05] CCC I would suggest using a live cd of ubuntu then use the usb startup disk creator to put the ubuntu image on it [02:06] does anyone know how to install xubuntu on an imac with a usb flash drive? i already have it on the usb [02:06] <`mOOse`> alpine too litATubu [02:06] and why virtualize 4 webservers all serving the same content on each box w/replication [02:06] PlaHPoy, remember, different people look at security differently. think of it on that level [02:06] wouldn't they all be using the same resources [02:06] i dual booted on windows xp how do i set linux as the normal bootup? [02:06] PlaHPoy, no. [02:06] i can understand if there were different clusters or different servers [02:06] CCC_: have you checked the ubuntu forums for intel mac's - they may have a sticky with tips [02:06] okay, for whatever reasons cups didn't come up sane with the last reboot. Restarting cups and samba got the printer back. The folders are another issue. I have yet to get them to share correctly. [02:07] carlll: if normally if u install ubuntu after XP it sets ubuntu as default [02:07] but a server can only serve so fast, why not tweak your httpd daemon and utilize the entire box? [02:07] unless u somehow changed it [02:07] PlaHPoy, the resources if done correctly are not shared. like i said, research vmware esx and its adaptability... ive used it to deploy several web servers and there is a reason for it === austin is now known as live_wir [02:07] carlll: I have good luck with ultimate boot cd, or super grub disk. [02:07] but wouldnt not sharing resources limit the ability of each virtual server [02:08] PlaHPoy, no. [02:08] PlaHPoy, vmware assigns a core to each server, same as memory [02:08] how do i change my username on ubuntu? [02:08] hi guys. when I boot ubuntu it's black and white even the usplash until it launches the xserver using composite output, any ideas to get it boot it color? [02:09] so your saying it would be faster to serve identical data from 4 virtual instances with 1 core than 1 system with all 4 cores using the same network adapter? [02:09] PlaHPoy, dependent upon the ability of the server (resources) it could be a great implementation of saving the environment too. some people have crazy reasons, but there are implementations that do require that they be on their own [02:09] he is only using it for lamp [02:09] PlaHPoy, then thats why [02:10] hey guys [02:10] PlaHPoy, he can put a thousand of those on a different os and virtualized environment, and it not even bog it down [02:10] whats the super button in compiz?

[02:15] i'll try all 3 of those thanks [02:15] <`mOOse`> technicallyrite, if he wants sun java though he has to go to a restricted repository [02:15] Carl once there do a search for sun-java you should find all you need [02:15] when I reboot the machine it reverts to a lower res [02:16] m00se: True but it easy [02:16] <`mOOse`> sun java is in the multiverse [02:16] <`mOOse`> not if he doesn't have that repo in his sources! [02:16] do i have to install something before i can ssh to a new ubuntu install? [02:16] something like, say, sshd? [02:17] vinse sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client [02:17] I'd encourage you to evaluate openjdk before opting for sun java. There's very very little (something like 3% of some more advanced functions) that's not in openjdk.

[02:18] any idea about mutt configuration? [02:18] okay, I am trying to share a folder on a USB external drive. Sharing seems to be working from the internal drive. Is there something I need to be doing different for the external? [02:18] IdeAlEss, is there any permissions on the external? [02:19] carlll any luck? [02:19] adambuntu, not sure, I just right clicked on the folder I wanted to share and had it do it. It is a fat32 drive so I would think no. [02:19] IdeAlEss, it should work then [02:19] IdeAlEss, is it not working? [02:20] what do you think the likelihood is that i could wipe this and put ubuntu on it? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=257308&source=1 [02:20] adambuntu, no, the xp box can't connect [02:20] gbd: I will keep that in mind [02:20] IdeAlEss, then it has to do with the mounting, and who can mount it [02:20] join #javascript [02:21] sry [02:21] IdeAlEss, that one is over my head in terms of configuring that. maybe one of the wizards can help with it [02:21] adambuntu, going to it in a terminal shows that it is mounted as my user with 700 on all folders and 751 on files. [02:22] IdeAlEss, can you \\(file) to it? [02:22] IdeAlEss, from the xp machine? [02:22] adambuntu, yes, the share shows up on the xp box with I \\ to the server IP. [02:23] Something is really screwy with my ubuntu wireless connection. It has long ping rates and seems to drop packets and do other funky things compared to other devices connected to the same wireless AP. Where should I start looking for the problem? [02:23] IdeAlEss, can you not get into the files then? [02:23] my X died after playing video, boots says unclean shutdown, "see your admin" msg, can get >$ and >#, dont know what to do [02:23] Even in windows 7 on the same pc the connection is fine [02:23] adambuntu, no, I can't open the shared folder on the xp box [02:23] i have enabled a few options in the CompizConfig Settings but i ddnt see any effects :( [02:24] In Firefox 3.5 there are no icons next to the search engines in the drop down menu. Do other people have that? [02:24] IdeAlEss, did you explicitly allow the permissions to the everyone group on the drive share? [02:25] connections time out for no reason I can't seem to figure it out, I thought it was fixed in the latest kernal but it started up again [02:25] I don't even know if I'm connected here lol [02:25] adambuntu, I have tried but they didn't seem to stick. [02:26] Totem Movie Player killed my X, only boots cli, pls help [02:26] IdeAlEss, yea, now your getting over my head with the config part. it sounds like when its mounted, its not keeping the settings for the drive share or just the drive.. [02:27] robojake, are you using wep? [02:27] To put gmail working in mutt. any idea? [02:27] adambuntu, yeah it sounds like a permission thing. It is using the auto mount thought so I guess I need to learn a little more about that.

[03:12] joebodo, apparently I only have to turn it off on the remote computer not the viewing one :) [03:12] jiohdi, good to know - [03:12] I am trying to figure out if it is possible to create a domain/client configuration with all linux except 1 winxp. Is this possible? [03:12] The latest kernel update (2.6.27.17.21 ) causes my laptop's fan to be set on full speed constantly. All kernels before that scaled the fan speed according to load. Anyone else see similar issues? I've heard through the grapevine that there are issues with power management in the latest version, likely leading to this fan issue. [03:13] Does anyone know if I can sell new computers with Ubuntu on them legally? [03:14] I am trying to figure out if it is possible to create a domain/client configuration with all linux except 1 winxp. Is this possible? [03:14] wterrey: yes you may, you have to let it be known that you are selling the hardware only [03:14] Great. Thank you [03:15] So I can give them a copy of the disk [03:15] yes [03:15] Thanks [03:17] Is milder = easier in any sense [03:17] I am trying to figure out if it is possible to create a domain/client configuration with all linux except 1 winxp. Is this possible? [03:17] robber, I think the way you are wording it doesn't exactly give a clear picture of what you want. [03:19] like windows where you login into a "domain" your home files are stored on a server, and you print thru a server and no matter which PC you login to you can have access to your files [03:20] Fondor1: im looking at purchasing and wondering if it'll work [03:20] SpaceGhostC2C: like windows where you login into a "domain" your home files are stored on a server, and you print thru a server and no matter which PC you login to you can have access to your files [03:21] ohmygawd, hey you asked about a netbook i have a gateway lt3103 that i am using right now on 9.10 [03:21] * AkhlD this is awwsome http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs195.snc3/20253_109463932397641_100000021031522_235519_2553918_n.jpg :D [03:21] Robber so you want a file server.

I am new to Linux come from UNIX a long time ago, and trying to relearn the OS's for a jo interview [03:24] the karmic installer does or does not support LVM2? [03:24] i don't seem to see an option for it... [03:25] SpaceGhostC2C: if you could just point me in the right direction, I will do all the research necessary. I am also turning about 10 of my PC's at home into a network of sorts [03:25] Has anyone installed Secret Maryo Chronicles? I just did but I have no music, is it 'normal'?

Post your screenshots here!!! http://boards.4chan.org/b/res/196461101#196465296 [03:26] wgrant: ah, thanks [03:26] robber, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [03:26] also: what's the story with 64bit? i've got the desktop cd. does that install 32bit by default? === sivel is now known as aka_sivel [03:27] StuckMojo: depends on which version there is both 32bit and 64bit version of the CD [03:27] StuckMojo: different isos === aka_sivel is now known as sivel [03:27] ah. i just grabbed of the front page [03:28] i suspect i got 32bit then [03:28] Can I start Ubuntu without a password? [03:28] StuckMojo: yes [03:28] StuckMojo: ubuntu website gets you 32-bit by default [03:28] which is probably best. AFAIR there's still no 64 flash plugin right? [03:28] StuckMojo: if you have 64bit system then u want to install that one [03:28] mkquist__: i do, but that's been a hassle in the past [03:28] StuckMojo: 32bit apps can work with 64 if needed, 64 bit works fine, and flash is no brainer [03:28] SpaceGhostC2C: Thanks, I will look into this. I appreciate the help [03:28] i've only got 4G ram so i think 32bit will be fine and less problematic... [03:29] mkquist__: really... [03:29] StuckMojo: been running it for since 9.04 and i like [03:29] mkquist__: are there 64bit nvidia drivers? (the binary ones i mean) [03:29] StuckMojo: 64 bit [03:29] robber, feel free to ask more. You can also do Samba, but that isn't as good IMO [03:29] StuckMojo, nvidia runs fine on 64bit [03:29] StuckMojo: you just enable restricted and it goes [03:29] StuckMojo: if you want the extra 800mb memory you could install the pae kernel [03:30] StuckMojo: 64bit is faster to do things like encode, noticeably [03:30] hmmm [03:30] Does anyone know if I can start Ubuntu without a password? [03:30] crap, i already downloaded and burned the 32bit, heh [03:31] wterrey: System->Administration->Login Screen [03:31] StuckMojo: keep it for other machines... ; ) [03:31] wterrey: you can enable autologin [03:31] Thank you [03:31] StuckMojo: The difference isn't that big really.. [03:31] hey is there any way I can automate grub to auto load the latest kernel? [03:31] i know, i'll just make a relatively small root partition, so i can install 64bit also [03:31] that way i can also do lvm [03:31] StuckMojo: i like the reason, if nothing else - more users mean 64bit get more attention [03:32] adambuntu: "autoload" as in? [03:32] adambuntu: grub defaults to newest installed kernel [03:32] Netflix. I've been reading and tyring stuff I found online. Nothing seems to work even with wine. (dont have VM bc dont own windows key) anyone GOT netflix working in ubuntu? [03:32] how big is the desktop install these days? [03:32] 10G? 15? [03:32] StuckMojo: really works fine though... desktop machine runs great with 64bit, no problems at all [03:32] arand, when i boot, i get the list of possible kernels to boot from. i only want the latest one. how do i make it choose that one by default without having to hit enter to get it started? [03:33] StuckMojo: A couple of gigabytes. [03:33] mkquist__: yeah i'm gonna give it a shot [03:33] Netflix requires WMP [03:33] StuckMojo: i think i gave it 40gigs [03:33] surge_, does not. [03:33] aI mean Silverlight [03:33] surge_, you're right now :) [03:33] StuckMojo: have 25 free right now [03:33] it uses Silverlight, used to be WMP... [03:33] hello. [03:33] hello.. i'm having problems to see youtube's videos.. i,ve installed java and flash player but still doesn't wor!! what am i doing wrong? [03:33] adambuntu: the only convenient way to do that is to uninstall the old kernels (since grub2 has no "howmany" option..) [03:34] but yeah its copy-protected stream [03:34] so I doubt its easy [03:34] arand, ok, how do i yank those kernels i am not using? [03:34] adambuntu: there is something.... I think it's called boot up manager [03:34] is there a good resource for how to setup a linux network. Where to place firewalls, wireless access points... [03:34] adambuntu, computer janitor [03:35] adambuntu, http://www.alterego7.com/2008/04/removing-those-extra-kernels-in-ubuntu.html [03:35] hi [03:35] robber, liunx comes with a firewall and do you need a seperate machine to use as a firewall?

How about for example) the whole shebang. including servers, and so forth. examples would be great, ones that may show cabling [03:38] thanks guys [03:38] for layout [03:38] arand: Do you think it would be best to restore the drive to what it was before I started playing with partition tables, or just to recover the one sector with my impr0ntant data? [03:38] robber, use IPCop for firewall/router/dhcp machine [03:38] i'm having a problem. I just upgraded my kubuntu to kde 4.4 and now as soon as kdm loads the computer turns itself off immediately unless i run startx as root. anyone have any ideas how I can debug this? [03:38] I use DDWRT on a WRT54GL for wireless [03:39] decided to go with a 512M /boot, a 25G / ext4, and at the end of the drive 1G swap [03:39] lacita: Frankly, I don't know. [03:39] 1TB dive [03:39] what security measures should i take before ssh to a computer i don't own/know? [03:39] myk_robinson, is your name mike robinson? [03:39] deadduck, be sure to ask in #kubuntu as well, if you don't get an answer here [03:39] deadduck: yes [03:39] myk_robinson, wow so is mine lol [03:39] Hi, I was updating to bash 4.1 when I've accidentally deleted /bin/bash which was my default. And now I can't login to the system, any ideas on how to enter the system again? [03:39] that way i can put a bunch of different kernels on there and other OSes like my old Sid install and 64bit karmic [03:40] arand: *partition, not sector, & **Important... [03:40] deadduck: small world! [03:40] myk_robinson, sure is :) [03:40] just bought an Asus K50I laptop. Need help with the touchpad, requires two fingers to scroll [03:40] ZykoticK9, thanks I will do that [03:41] hmmm...ext4 is like ext3 in that you can mount it readonly as ext2, right? [03:41] RaNdY, worst comes to worst you might be able to boot off the live cd and chroot and install bash again (or create a link to dash, and install bash again) [03:41] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [03:41] would like to set my touchpad to require only one finger to scroll, but cannot find settings for this. I assume I will need to edit the xorg.conf file, but will need some help [03:42] ZykoticK9, no other way to login? System is still up.. looking for alternative ways to enter it. [03:42] lacita: I guessed it was partitions.. (quite the nice freudian slip on "important" :), but yea, I really don't know which is best, I would rewrite the whole partition table with all, but I don't have any good motivation for doing that... [03:42] myk_robinson, system->preferences->mouse should have those options [03:43] joebodo: that was the first place i looked, no luck [03:43] myk_robinson, [03:43] RaNdY, ? hopefully someone else has a suggestion, good luck [03:43] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [03:43] thanks ZykoticK9. [03:43] arand: Ok, I'll try all the partitions... now I select "Write", right? [03:44] lacita: yep [03:44] I'm confused, inputing mkdir ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins/ it tells me no such file or directory.. [03:45] if anyone at all want to help me? [03:45] I don't often have this PC plugged into sound, and I want Pidgin and/or Empathy to 'system beep' whenever I get a message and its not selected. Anybody know any leads I can follow? [03:47] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [03:47] arand: I have to reboot for it to take effect? [03:47] HTC, dont repeat your problem so quickly. I don't know of a solution, Im not even sure what a shoutcast server is. [03:47] hey guys, anyone here has ubuntu running on lenovos latest t410? [03:48] lacita: I don't know what you use for accessing the truecrypt partition, but if you can get to it from the liveCD, I don't think a reboot should be necessary.. [03:48] HTbeeJay: I did... maybe not the latest, but I had ubuntu on a lenovo y410. Pretty sweet. === AkhlD is now known as Tester2 [03:49] knoppies, two days Pinoy program through which he could play the music [03:50] arand: after looking at it graphically with gparted, it appears to be there... kindof. there are 2 new fat32 sectors right after boot... possibly for a boot process? [03:50] arand: This isn't my boot drive though... === Tester2 is now known as AKhlD [03:50] lacita: So, you were able to recover your blown partition table? [03:51] lacita: maybe something that wasn't there to start with and tesdisk added in mistake.. [03:51] Hello there!. Suddenly Ubuntu is not detecting my mp4 player. Can anybody help? [03:51] in Ubuntu Karmic, where is the equivalent of xorg.conf? [03:51] i need to try to manually configure some options on my touchpad [03:51] arand: Yes, the table is back... Let's do a reboot & see how things worked out.\ [03:52] myk_robinson, karmic can use an xorg.conf if you create it! [03:52] myk_robinson, s/can/will [03:52] arand: Thanks again. Hopefully, I'll see you in just a bit. [03:52] ZykoticK9: I just want to try to disable this two-finger scrolling. To your knowledge, is there already a config file somewhere that is controlling this setting? [03:53] myk_robinson, oh man i have no idea, good luck [03:53] is there a command I can use in console to search the entire hard drive for files containing a certain piece of text? === AKhlD is now known as AkhlD [03:54] myk_robinson, someone once gave me a list of commands for searching of various things, if you really want I can go boot up my laptop and try find it for you. [03:54] "locate" can find filenames [03:54] knoppies: I'll see if I can google it, but I wont stop you :) [03:54] myk_robinson, it's in gconf-editor [03:54] myk_robinson: are you looking for something IN the files? [03:55] desktop->gnome->peripherals->touchpad [03:55] Fondor1: yes, looking for Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" [03:55] hey guys, i am trying to download and burn the mini.iso (netboot ubuntu) to a usb, and nothing registers it as a valid iso, any ideas why? or is there another way to get this minimal ubuntu? [03:55] myk_robinson, ok, let me fetch the laptop. [03:55] Fondor1, if myk_robinson is wanting to look inside the files it would require grep - i'm not sure how, and the hd is a big place to try to look inside of everything [03:55] dereks, you burned an iso to a usb stick? [03:56] ZykoticK9: if it matters, the install is less than 24 hours old [03:56] just trying to locate something that might allow me to configure this touchpad [03:56] does anyone know how to enable TV-out with an ATI Radeon 9200 video card in 9.10? [03:57] papsh: you know what i mean [03:57] myk_robinson, i've never had to deal with touchpads (synaptic?) and xorg before man - but i'm sure the setting is there if you dig for it :) [03:57] thing is, there is no xorg.conf in Ubuntu anymore [03:57] dereks, you used unetbootin? [03:57] myk_robinson, what gfx card do you have? [03:58] myk_robinson, there are 2 ways to make an xorg [03:58] myk_robinson: here is a tutorial on creating an xorg.conf: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html [03:58] onboard intel 4500 [03:58] myk_robinson, http://imagebin.org/84474 [03:58] hi guys [03:58] papsh: no, startup disk maker [03:58] uhhhh i need help to get to the support page ? === aether is now known as Guest41563 [03:59] exit [03:59] nCooL: you do what? [03:59] I have a question about port forward, please help [03:59] patriot, router port forwarding? or something on your machine? [03:59] yeah i need help to get to the support page for ubuntu [03:59] joebodo: oddly enough, mine is set to 1 Thanks for the picture though, it is helpful [03:59] myk_robinson, that link nickware sent is perfect! follow it and you'll be good. [04:00] nCooL: you mean this? http://www.ubuntu.com/support [04:01] ZykoticK9: got it bookmarked, will try it in the morning after some much needed sleep. Thanks! [04:01] hey guys automounting with hard drives doesn't work anymore [04:01] any hint [04:02] Hey. I need some help please :S. My Mp4 is not being detected anymore. Anyone has any ideas? [04:02] Help! I keep receiving E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) whenever I try to install drupal6 [04:03] Kismet, i've certainly experienced some inconsistent automount behaviour with karmic as well. if worst comes to works you can create fstab entries using "noauto" and "user" switches - but it won't show up on you desktop as nicely as the automounter does :( [04:03] tetsuo_: does the player work on other computers? Plug it into your linux machine, wait about 60 seconds, then open up a terminal and type dmesg see if the output yields any info as to what happened when plugging inthe deivce [04:05] ZykoticK9, i don't get it.. i am not that fluently with that stuff [04:05] ZykoticK9, how to create that enterie [04:05] can someone help me with the error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [04:05] Kismet, sorry -- you can use fstab to mount partitions (like external drives and stuff) but it more a pain! [04:05] myk_robinson thanks for replying!. It works on other computers. It was working yesterday. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I go to places -> computer -> it says "Nautilus cannot handle computer locations@. By the way, there's nothing useful that I can spot in dmesg === AkhlD is now known as Googlie [04:06] hello [04:06] Kismet, ideally you won't have to use fstab - but i don't have a solution for the automounter sorry [04:06] tetsuo_: what was the last thing you did with it on another computer, and was that computer windows based? [04:06] ZykoticK9, thats all right, i thought i can mount with the mount command [04:06] It may have switched USB modes === Googlie is now known as AkhlD [04:07] Kismet, this of fstab this way - you put the line you run using mount -- in a file and this file is read each time the computer starts [04:07] tetsuo_: does the player have an onboard menu where you can verify the mode is set to MSC and not MTP? [04:07] Hi, I was updating to bash 4.1 when I've accidentally deleted /bin/bash which was my default. And now I can't login to the system, any ideas on how to enter the system again aside from LiveCD boot;chroot-file? [04:07] myk_robinson: just charged, I didn't move any files or anything. I think something got messed up with my ubuntu. I didn't install or change anything in the past 2 days [04:08] ZykoticK9, oh i see [04:08] Please someone help me [04:08] ZykoticK9, but it won't show in nautilus when i plug it in with usb [04:09] Kismet, right! which is a total drag! [04:09] seamarshall: how are you trying to install drupal? [04:09] ZykoticK9, thats... no good... [04:09] I have to admit ubuntu (I think I have hardy...) is much nicer than windows but I am getting frustrated over some issues with some games, plugins for firefox, etc... Very confusing for someone who has only used windows for 10 years [04:09] ZykoticK9, but still thx for explaining [04:10] lcfr666s8n: keep in mind that hardy is four revisions old, a LOT has changed since then [04:10] myk_robinson, I originally installed it correctly then botched an update so I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it and always receive this error now. I tried to purge it also but no luck [04:10] myk_robinson, im sorry that didnt answer your question. I am using sudo apt-get install [04:10] myk_robinson: is 9.10 better? [04:11] seamarshall: just puzzled about the error, installing drupal should be as simple as untarring the drupal file into a directory [04:11] lcfr666s8n: In my opinion, its much better. Newer versions of all software and better hardware support [04:11] lcfr666s8n: in 10yr linux will be a piece of cake :P [04:11] seamarshall: can you walk me through your installation? [04:11] myk_robinson, it also spits this at me. Not replacing deleted config file /etc/dbconfig-common/drupal6.conf [04:11] where do i go for graphics questions>? [04:12] anyone familiar with Ubuntu SE? [04:12] arlo ask [04:12] When I uninstalled it I deleted all the files "search" could find named drupal. I then did sudo apt-get remove drupal. the proceeded to do sudo apt-get install drupal6 [04:13] seamarshall: i feel silly, i didnt know that drupal was in the repository [04:13] ask nvidia 7900gs+ubunto9? [04:13] lcfr666s8n, if it's a support issue ask - otherwise ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:13] seamarshall: That's your problem, deleting program files manually --> problem [04:13] seamarshall: try sudo apt-get -f install should fix any possible broken packages. [04:14] myk_robinson: that gives me the same error [04:14] Does Ubuntu 9 support SE... Also is running vista on one drive and Ubuntu Hardy on another bad. [04:14] Does anyone have any idea why my mp4 is not being detected anymore? [04:14] I have tried Wine for several programs and its spotty at best.. [04:14] lcfr666s8n: what is SE? [04:14] server edition? [04:14] !ot > myk_robinson [04:14] arand: i looked in the recycle bin but did not find the files i deleted. will i need to reinstall 9.10? [04:14] myk_robinson, please see my private message [04:14] JusUbuntu Satanic Edition.... [04:15] anyone any idea why my hard drives won't show up in nautlus [04:15] seamarshall: is this only the package drupal, or a lot of other packages around it? [04:16] alguien de venezuela [04:16] ?? [04:16] Anyone know how to get brasero to make a DVD video image instead of an svcd image like it seems to insist on doing? [04:16] tetsuo_, I imagine because mpeg is encumbered by patents and the developers don't want to force you to violate the law if you don't want to [04:16] !es | jesus__ [04:16] jesus__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:16] seamarshall: you running Karmic? Try sudo aptitude remove --purge drupal6 provided you want to purge all the config files ,etc then sudo aptitude install drupal6 [04:16] i seem to use the drivers tht ubuntu recommends for my nvidia 7900gs card and i watched older youtube videos of this card and ubuntu like compiz fusion and it looks spectacular but everything is kinda slow considerably slower than my win xp i looked up i online dont know what to do...... [04:17] tetsuo_, you could probably find that kind of functionality in restricted, though [04:17] It installed Ubuntu Hardy... Satanic Edition ie SE is a theme setup... I just got a Ubuntu 9.10 disk today, I am just confused and the FAQ are even worse...lol [04:17] arand: its only drupal as far as i can tell. it keeps saying "Not replacing deleted config file /etc/dbconfig-common/drupal6.conf" amongst other things [04:17] overtherainbow, if you want to output to dvd video check out the program devede [04:17] * Automatrix is greeting you [04:18] myk_robinson: that returned the same error [04:18] Gentlemen, got a problem, my provider changed firmware of my modem/router, but without willing to give me the new administrator pw ... [04:18] seamarshall: @#!!, I'm at a loss [04:19] seamarshall: trying creating the file as a blank file sudo touch /etc/dbconfig-common/drupal6.conf [04:19] Sorry if I bothered you guys.... I can come back some other time when its not so busy..... [04:19] myk_robinson: ok, thank you for your help anyhow :) [04:19] I am on karmic and have ruby 1.9.1 installed including the -dev package but mongrel fails to build when using gem1.9.1. It builds fine with the gem1.8. Suggestions? [04:19] is there a way to intercept their pw at coldboot of the modem ? [04:19] anyone any idea why my hard drives won't show up in nautlus [04:19] Automatrix, any router/modem should have a reset.. but wrong place to ask [04:19] i can mount it manualy with mount command [04:20] but it is not in nautilus [04:20] I have connected to a remote Ubuntu machine with ssh -X, and run Firefox, but it runs my local firefox .. HOW? [04:20] Out_Cold, firmaware has been changed and pw is hardcoded inside [04:20] Out_Cold, wher should I ask my questionn ? [04:20] !pm [04:20] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:20] gracias [04:21] Automatrix, what brand is the router/isp? [04:21] mdg: Still here? [04:21] Out_Cold, a thomspn speedtouch 716 WL [04:21] myk_robinson: that didnt work either and when i tried to create a file using gedit, it returned saying it didnt know the command gedit [04:21] Out_Cold, ISP - Base in Belgium; EUrope [04:21] seamarshall: sounds like your install is hosed.. I assume you cannot install gedit either? [04:22] can some help me with create a text file for a folder containing 249 items? [04:22] Does anyone know how to get rid of the icons in front of Applications and Places [04:22] with the names of the files [04:22] omenmaster, ls > filename [04:22] Agh, ZykoticK9 beat me to it [04:22] ? [04:23] myk_robinson: I was able to reinstall that, however it did show a lot of errors in the process [04:23] omenmaster, the '>' part of that command basically takes what would be printed on the screen and dumps it into a file [04:23] seamarshall: so, did you just go an delete a bunch of stuff manually, i guess? just asking, trying to figure out what happened [04:23] Automatrix, i'd start here: http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/speedtouch716.shtml [04:23] Automatrix, step 6 [04:23] thanks Out_Cold [04:24] omenmaster, Sir_Fawnpug the '>' is called a redirect i believe [04:24] so cd into the folder and do that/ [04:24] ZykoticK9, yep [04:24] myk_robinson: Yes i did. Im guessing that breaks files system files? [04:24] I can't get my usb flash detected, it was working two days ago. Can anybody help me? [04:24] omenmaster, that's probably the simplest way of doing it [04:25] ok im in the folder right now [04:25] via terminal [04:25] tetsuo_, so your original method of dealing with it was to use the file browser to copy the files over? [04:25] tetsuo: Are you absolutely sure that your problems are OS related? I've had lots of USB problems due to lack of power being given to the USB port [04:25] seamarshall: depending on where you deleted from, yes. Anything outside of normally unhidden folders in your home directory should generally not be touched unless you know EXACTLY what your're doing. That's while all that stuff stays hidden and requires root access, its all asafety net [04:25] tetsuo_: when its plugged in, does it show in the console when you type lsusb [04:26] Out_Cold, I did that but PW seems to be hardcoded in the firmware, so no access [04:26] k0d3g3ar: I'm sure. Something stopped working and it's not my mp3 =( [04:26] !proxy [04:26] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [04:26] myk_robinson: til someone like me gets carried away :/. I broke 7 previous ubuntu installs messing around like this. [04:26] myk_robinson yes, it's on the list [04:26] u guys freakin rock.. [04:26] thank u [04:26] myk_robinson, you still looking for search commands (sorry i left it booting and forgot about the laptop.) [04:27] knoppies: actually, i forgot I was here to ask for help, got carried away trying to help others :) [04:27] !ssh tunnel [04:27] Automatrix, i live in canada but i have never seen a router that can not be reset to default.. [04:27] tetsuo_: Reason I ask is that I have a laptop here that did something very similar. Found out that it was a flaky power supply to the ports. Changed the device to a differnent port and magically it appeared [04:27] After uninstalling a program that has been installed with 'wine', the shortcuts remain in Applications->Other. How do I remove these shortcuts definetly? Where are these files remaining? [04:27] myk_robinson: your blank file trick worked! thanks! but I am receiving a mysql error from drupal. Should I purge then reinstall? [04:27] knoppies: i think I found my answer though, I need to create an xorg.conf file and config manually for my touchpad [04:27] Out_Cold, I've got one ;) so does several thousand people here [04:28] seamarshall: its worth a shot. I run drupal, but on a hosted server. Until today i didnt even know it was in the repo [04:28] k0d3g3ar I wish it were that =( but I tried on different ports and nothing [04:28] seamarshall: it cant get any "broker" [04:28] myk_robinson, ok. the 3 commands I had are: whereis locate find. [04:28] myk_robinson, not sure what they do though. [04:28] it's wierd because it's on the lsusb that myk_robinson said [04:28] knoppies: thanks, I'll check man pages on them [04:29] Automatrix, well if many people there have them, try looking for a forum or something similar for the ISP. [04:30] hey I'm' having serious issues with xubuntu atm [04:30] Anybody know how to cut output from CAT starting with one trigger and ending with another? For example... I'm wanting the grub commands for booting Ubuntu. So I'm typing "grub-mkconfig" but I only want output starting after "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###" and then start with "menuentry" and end on line "}". Just curious if its possible? [04:30] the same problem fore everyone, nobody s' got the administrator password [04:30] Automatrix, it's near certain someone else has had/fixed that before. [04:30] I did an upgrade and now dbus has taken a big shit [04:30] I don't often have this PC plugged into sound, and I want Pidgin and/or Empathy to 'system beep' whenever I get a message. [04:30] Automatrix, animeloe[net], how big of an upgrade? [04:30] it's doing a lot of erroring [04:30] Automatrix, i would refuse service if i could not control my own equipment [04:30] couldn't connect to dbus session bus: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified#012Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. [04:30] that's one of the errors I get [04:30] myk_robinson: thats true. lets hope I dont break all of ubuntu now haha. another quick question was running this command bad "sudo aptitude remove rarian-compat"? [04:30] Out_Cold, too late now, the did it [04:31] bombel, use System / Preferences / Main Menu - and uncheck them from Other (my guess is you find the eventually reappear and you'll have to uncheck them again, but then you'll have 2 or more entries - fun stuff) [04:31] myk_robinson: it's on the lsusb that you mentioned, what should I do next? [04:31] seamarshall: not sure what that app is... lemme look [04:31] anyone know of the best open source alternative to whm/cpanel? I'm looking at ravencore, dtc... but i really dont know what decision to make... need something that can run drupal which is PHP based... any suggestions? [04:31] Sir_Fawnpug, did not understand your question [04:31] I did the security updates for 9.10 [04:31] 64bit [04:31] all of them [04:31] tetsuo_: you know how to use pastebin? If so, paste a little bit from the end of dmesg [04:31] and now dbus is all screwed up [04:31] Automatrix, whoops, addressed that to the wrong person, sorry [04:31] sure, one min [04:32] animeloe[net], from 9.10 or an older version of ubuntu? [04:32] does anyone know how to enable TV-out with an ATI Radeon 9200 video card in 9.10? [04:32] animeloe[net], are you using kde by chance? [04:32] no xfce4 [04:32] 9.10 to 9.10+sec patches [04:32] seamarshall: its installed on mine, and I just clean installed this machine yesterday [04:33] myk_robinson: Here you go!: http://pastebin.com/d786bb9e4. Thanks! [04:33] myk_robinson: ok thank you for checking [04:33] [ 87.470684] update-notifier[1939]: segfault at f4 ip 00007f715aa0e751 sp 00007fff913cdf20 error 4 in libdbus-1.so.3.4.0[7f715aa01000+3d000] [04:33] After uninstalling a program that has been installed with 'wine', the shortcuts remain in Applications->Other. How do I remove these shortcuts definetly? Where are these files remaining? [04:33] a small cut of what's blowing up [04:34] tetsuo_: does it duplicate the same bevahiour after a reboot? DO you have a flash drive or something else you can test? [04:34] and yes it's repeatable after a reboot [04:35] myk_robinson it's working on windows, so I think it's a OS issue [04:35] tetsuo_: you may be correct, but can you duplicate the same problem with a flash drive? I as kthis because if a Windows machine has set the player to MTP mode, it will not mount correct in Linux without some changes.. [04:36] tetsuo_: this is common with Sansa players [04:36] is there a way to flip a screen horizontally?

[04:43] aybabtu, ? [04:43] tetsuo_: try the reset hole on the back, page 31 on the manual recommends this if it is not recognized by a computer. Will not remove any of your files, worth a shot [04:44] myk_robinson, I did it!. It works [04:44] ZykoticK9 pm [04:44] tetsuo_: the reset made it show up?

People in that same thread at ubuntuforums say it works outof the box with Karmic [04:49] mjs7231, i would say it depends on the dependencies that 1.31 needs [04:49] myk_robinson, ubuntu 9.10, what do you mean of out the box with karmic? [04:50] do I just switch all my important stuff to the drive currently with ubuntu then do what...Sorry Linux/ubuntu is new to me and the FAQ/docs didnt help [04:50] any happen to know where i can find a guide to rebuild my grub? ubuntu wont boot without super grub disk for some reason.

[04:54] I have an ubuntu server that act as "a middle man", it listening on udp 50000 and forward that to amazon server [04:54] I use nc to do port forwarding, it works but not stable [04:54] Out_Cold: I know what you want to do, but if you don't really know what the rootkit does, you might ending up giving up something else! rootkits cam make you believe your firewall is up and running [04:54] giiker, no i dont remember my keyring passphare but i know all passphases stored in it [04:54] i recommend VMware. im using it now and like it alot.. very usefull i have 5 OS's on one computer... [04:55] can iptables do the same thing [04:55] does anyone here use Lanmap? [04:55] i have only five gb assigned to my ubuntu partition, how to increase it?? [04:55] Anyone know of a web broswer for ubuntu that allows you to specify a DNS server to use? [04:55] Out_Cold, It looks like it needs new only a few things..

Goodnight, all [04:56] giiker, agreed. i have a router firewall as well as the box firewall... but i can always unplug the box.. or use vm.. [04:56] ajay: how did you generate your keys? [04:56] anyone here familiar with ifuse? [04:56] this is the command for nc : nc -u -l -p 50000 -c "nc -u amazonserver 50000" [04:56] Out_Cold: better safe than sorry [04:57] the ubuntu server will listen to local port 50000 udp packet then forward it to the amazon server [04:57] can someone help me out? [04:57] heh, tried to open grub and got a "grub is not currently installed" message.... this could be the problem [04:58] patriot: what about installing a NAT? nc is not safe if I remember [04:58] i jus remember them but my problem is when i do any task like connect to internet or admin task it asks me first my keyring passphase then inhav to deny keyring every time [04:59] giiker: i just remember them but my problem is when i do any task like connect to internet or admin task it asks me first my keyring passphase then inhav to deny keyring every time [04:59] i've been trying to use NAT with no luck [04:59] ajay: your keyring mgr is asking for you password, not the passphrase [05:00] ajay: so are you sure you are inputing the right one? [05:00] giiker: i forgot my password [05:00] patriot: I would not really use nc in your case, I would first try to read everything about NAT and run from there! [05:01] Anyone know of a web broswer for ubuntu that allows you to specify a DNS server to use? [05:01] giiker, I can see using tcpdump that the NAT is working [05:01] ajay: how did you generate your keys, with GPG, ssh-keygen? [05:01] on the ubuntu server [05:02] but nothing is coming to the amazon server [05:02] giiker: what is this GPG and ssh-keygen dont go that techy buddy i cant understand [05:03] patriot: are you using that server as a proxy [05:03] yes [05:03] fresh installation of ubuntu [05:03] and nothing else is running [05:03] :( [05:04] ajay: I'm not going techie, somehow you must have gone through this step, I have to ask this so I can give you the right commands. === deadduck is now known as duckx0r [05:04] tell me a gui way rather than commands if possible [05:05] patriot: ok, so do you use something like ssh to the amazon server? [05:05] ajay, its easier to follow commands than a gui walkthrough. [05:05] hey i jus know my root password [05:05] How can one set the system time via a terminal? [05:05] thats it [05:05] ajay, you understand how sudo works? [05:06] yes [05:06] I can ssh to the amazon server [05:06] but this particular application it's not [05:06] the amazon server is also running on port 50000 [05:06] ajay: you forgot your sudo pswd? weird, how did ou login? [05:06] ajay, then you should be fine. [05:06] patriot: there is a solution to this [05:06] your question would be why not go direct to amazon server? [05:06] hello all\ [05:06] hi [05:06] know i know my sudo password [05:07] no [05:07] ajay: It's the password you use to login to the system [05:07] the reason is we don't want to change all our clients application setting [05:07] whois [05:07] patriot: you might want to run an gent to forward anything to the amazonserver, hold on I' ll look for the tutorial [05:07] how can I remove the icons from my panels?

[05:08] sure thanks [05:08] It used to be when you rightclicked and hit properties [05:09] haha [05:09] but now it seems as having no icon is not an option [05:09] etzerd, if I remember correctly, you have to save the correct resolution to a config file somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

[05:10] English too hard [05:10] I'm not too sure [05:10] patriot: that is what I said, at the begining, it consists of 3 or 4 parts [05:10] what I use [05:10] wangdx: This is a english channel [05:10] all I know I set it to VESA [05:11] Roasted: place each photo in its own layer, then you can move them around in their own layers [05:11] Ok [05:11] ok [05:11] patriot: there is a forwarding agent instead [05:11] ardchoille, thats what I was thinking, but I wasnt sure if itd work. I figured Id ask before I get my fingers into having 100 layers to bounce around with.

[05:12] Im in the doghouse now so Im tr ying to pull off a half decent valentines day gift :/ [05:12] Roasted: When you know you have a few placed correctly, you can go to the top layer and "merge down" a few layers to cut down on the number of layers you have to scroll through [05:13] etzerd, you can type "man xorg.conf" to get a better understanding of the xorg.conf configuration file. I don't own a Radeon so Im not sure how you set the resolution. [05:13] etzerd, "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal will tell you for sure what card you have [05:13] Roasted: and ctrl+z is your friend :) [05:13] ardchoille, ha, I know that one :P [05:13] GIMP is one heck of a editor :/ really can't figure anything [05:13] patriot: it is agent connection forwarding [05:13] Roasted, 6-pack and a cucumber..

I suck at this. [05:17] etzerd, you still there? [05:17] wangdx: Sorry, I don't really understand your english.

What if I just want it to be whatever, just handle the image, everything else transparent? [05:19] ajay, Im not sure. if I remember correctly your keyring password is the same as the original login password. I may be mistaken though. [05:19] patriot: my paranoia won't let me think aoutside box, I think iptables would be able to do this [05:19] Roasted, the default values in new layer should be the same as your image. [05:19] Roasted: not anew image, a new layer. there's a button at the bottomof the layers ui [05:19] Roasted, isn't there a way to copy the last layer's dimensions? [05:19] Hello friends, I am a teacher and I am looking to host my audio files(my class lectures) on a free service. Could you please suggest such a service, a reliable one?

Im taking a bunch of images onto 1 massive image as a collage. so when I bring in a new image as a layer, I want them to be handled a certain way [05:20] patriot: but in iptables, iḿ lost [05:20] i follow this http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/73 [05:20] patriot: but in iptables, i'm lost [05:20] but no luck [05:20] theadmin: Can I add you to my friendslist ?

[05:45] HoudiniMan: alt+f2, enter "gksudo nvidia-settings" (without quotes) [05:45] WaterRatj, first, you need to look at how .reg files are structured [05:45] and what can read them [05:46] it's not exactly my thing [05:46] i messed up mywindows and need to fix it true ubuntu, [05:46] ill look further [05:46] Can anyone help me get some basic software midi working?

[05:47] HoudiniMan: TwinView lets viewing two monitors as one [05:47] leaf-sheep, that's weird about keyboard-shortcuts.. works fine on my fedora box [05:47] HoudiniMan, i once tried seperate x screens, and messed up bigtime. if the monitors are the same size/resolution I think its easier doing TwinView [05:47] I want to have menus on one monitor and drag windows between them [05:47] HoudiniMan: With separate X screens, you could (theoretically) run two Gnome/KDE/whatever sessions at once [05:47] HoudiniMan: Then use Twinview [05:48] crazy! cool too. I'll stick to Twimview though :) [05:48] i need to get java pls help? [05:48] loops: mine is listed as disabled in keyboard-shortcuts and F1 still brings up help (ubuntu) [05:48] HoudiniMan: You want TwinView (to drag stuffs between Windows). [05:48] * nick125 did have dual XFCE setup once with Synergy to handle the keyboard/mouse... [05:48] HoudiniMan, your top and bottom panels will span the two monitors I think, if you using a dock like cairo-dock then just set it offset to one side, so it sticks to one monitor.

[06:03] ! flash | carlll [06:03] carlll: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:03] carlll: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer (Jaunty, Karmic), sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree (earlier distributions) [06:03] carll: if you go to adobe (i went from youtube link) there is an option for apt-get in the flashplayer menu [06:03] carlll: You probably want to simply install flashplugin-nonfree, then restart your browser [06:04] nick125: I can't find the package xserver-xorg-driver-i810 for karmic, the only one I can find is for drapper [06:04] anyone experience 'pam_groupdn' in /etc/ldap.conf not to work under 8.04? [06:04] hey gimp masters, new question. If I make a canvas thats 8000x8000 pixels, and later scale it to be printable in 8x10 format, will it have better print quality than making a canvas thats the exact pixel count of an 8x10 photo and applying the photos to it accordingly? [06:04] any way to detect the extra buttons on my logitech mouse? [06:05] darolu: You're right. I forgot that Intel replaced the i810 driver with a generic-ish one. [06:05] how do i check if i have installed java right? [06:05] darolu: Which intel chipset do you have as reported by the output of: lspci|grep VGA ? [06:06] carill, you can go to os.icloud.com if you have java it will work, if not it will send you to java.com [06:06] carlll, http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [06:06] soreau: gimme a min, the laptop is rebooting [06:06] roasted: i believe the exact pixel count would be better (if you know the print-resolution of the photo) because otherwise things get changed on resize. on the other hand starting at 8000x and resizing will help cover some editing (kind of like antialiasing)... note this is coming from non-Gimp image software experience [06:07] darolu: All the package you need should already be installed, unless you did not install karmic cleanly [06:07] * Mike_L looks around [06:07] metricpiano, well, I assume that gimp is picking the exactp ixel size. I chose my canvas by inch... 8x10... which is what I want to print at. [06:07] darolu: ie. if it was an upgrade from a previous version of ubuntu [06:07] metricpiano, then I'm scaling each picture to 1x1 inch and its doing it accordingly. So I ASSUME gimp is handling it by pixel count. :P [06:08] soreau: it used to work fine, was a clean install, worked perfectly since november 09 until tonight [06:08] ok i have a laptop and it has a wifi button (on and off) but i just installed ubuntu and it wont let me turn it on it just stay orange (off) [06:08] Question: I'm writing a server configuration how-too, and want to capture that actions on the screen to create an mpg or avi. Any suggestions on video capture packages? [06:08] darolu: That is very odd. Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the failed session? [06:09] carlll: Do you know which wifi chip it is as reported by lspci? [06:09] hi [06:10] soreau no but i dont have any idea where to find it [06:10] carlll: lspci is a command you run in your terminal that tells you what hardware you have in the machine [06:10] darolu: Try to install xserver-xorg-video-intel [06:10] ke1ha, i was trying various screencasting software the other week, the best results i got was using ffmpeg like "ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -vcodec huffyuv -sameq screencast.avi" one option for ya anyways (i was trying to capture compiz effects for fps was a big concern for me, and probably not so much what your doing with a how-to) [06:11] so how do i find it out? [06:11] carlll: if you have a broadcom wifi you need to search for drivers online [06:11] carlll: 1) Open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) 2) Type lspci and press enter 3) Look for the line that talks about your wireless ethernet apater [06:11] it came installed on my laptop [06:12] adapter* [06:12] is it OK for me to ask a question about getting an updated version of a package? [06:12] soreau, nick125: I'll do it as soon as it boots, it's doing a system check [06:12] thansk for the help [06:12] darolu: Ah. Let me know what happens. [06:13] ZykoticK9, tnx. i've got a couple commercial options, but they cost allot for a simple this is how you do it deal. [06:13] nick125: I would like to think the intel driver package did not get removed somehow, but then again, it wouldnt be the first time ;) [06:13] soreau: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [06:14] carlll: Ok, so it is an atheros chipset. The driver module for that card is ath5k. So to check if it is loaded, do you see any output from the command: lsmod|grep ath5k [06:14] soreau: Yeah.. [06:14] ke1ha, check out the GUI apps gtk-recordMyDesktop & Istanbul as well [06:14] so type that in the terminal? [06:14] carlll: Yes.

Lets see if google turns up anything [06:17] carlll: did you check your dmesg? [06:17] soreau: ok what do i do? [06:17] ummmm no === bukharin is now known as gorgonzola [06:17] How do I mount my USB drive exec rather than noexec? [06:17] carlll: less /var/log/kern.log or just type dmesg |less [06:18] came up with lots of stuff [06:18] carlll: then look for messages from the driver [06:19] w [06:19] i see nothing with the word driver [06:19] carlll: Can you pastebin the output of iwconfig from your terminal to pastebin.com? (then post the link here so we can see what it says) [06:19] in it [06:20] why is the latest chrome update 12 Megs? [06:20] carlll: It is not going to say "driver". It is a kernel module, which is a driver. The command lsmod is short for "list modules" and lists the loaded modules on your system [06:21] carlll: your driver is called ath5k so look for lines with that [06:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/374473/ [06:21] titan_ark: because when they created the update it was about 1MB shy of 13MB. [06:21] carlll: I want to see the output of iwconfig [06:21] carlll: that's the top of your kernel messages log. What you want should be at the bottom [06:22] carlll: It will be more than a handful of lines, so pastebin the output of iwconfig [06:22] hi, what is the way to tell the installation steps to avoid seek the cd/dvd as a media source? [06:22] that was all of it [06:22] carlll: it's impossible that dmesg outputs only 21 lines [06:22] mneptok, quite lame :P i was wondering if anyone was aware if there were any signifacnt changes. i cant seem to find anything online about it [06:22] it was [06:23] Can anybody tell me how to change my disk-on-key's mount settings from noexec to exec?

[06:37] one of them says something about atheros [06:38] other 2 are nvidia [06:38] carlll: If you install it and reboot, you will no longer be using ath5k, but instead ath_pci [06:38] carlll: See if it makes a difference for you [06:38] ok hold on [06:38] blakkheim: ath_hal is === skydrome is now known as aen [06:40] blakkheim: Typically, only drivers with some proprietary component(s) are available via jockey [06:40] how do you view a list of files in a directory in a terminal? [06:40] ls [06:41] toastedmilk: ls /path/to/directory [06:41] soreau, ty [06:41] soreau: hold on let me reboot [06:42] I accidentally deleted a bunch of files that were extremely important to me, and i didnt have a back up because, well idk why. i spend a lot of time working on them. I already double checked the trash can, they're not there. I used the 'delete' function, not the 'move to trash' feature === RaNdY is now known as RaNdY^ [06:44] oscurochu, if it is "rm" for remove.. [06:45] it is good game [06:45] i doubt u can retrieve it back [06:45] I need to set my USB drive's mount options from exec to noexec, can somebody please tell me how to do that? [06:45] k im back [06:45] what's the best way to display geeky info about my computer overlayed on my desktop? [06:45] can we make a read-only drive to allow write permission? [06:45] carlll: Now in iwconfig, do you see an ath0 interface listed? [06:46] HoudiniMan, conky [06:46] Does anyone here know how the window alignment thing works in Windows 7? If you "throw" a window to the corner, it snaps itself there... now is there any way to do this on a Linux box? Or even the equivalent of "Tile Windows Horizontally" or "Tile Windows Vertically" [06:46] fireOnSong: isn't that a contradiction? [06:46] soreau: i found my linksys router tyvm [06:46] (excuse the spam) [06:46] HoudiniMan, there is a great beginners guide at ubuntuforums, let me find the link [06:46] carlll: Great ;) [06:46] Yerushalmi, try check /etc/fstab [06:46] harisund, do sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [06:46] its in there [06:47] bazhang, appreciate it! :) [06:47] wtf? [06:47] tsimpson: ?? [06:47] brand0n: I don't run compiz .. do I need to do that in order to be able to do what I want? [06:47] yea [06:47] Can anyone help me with this? : http://pastebin.com/m5db8f76f [06:47] as far as i know anyways [06:47] reto': well a virus had made it read-only...so i can neither write anythin to it nor format it....is there anyway around it? [06:47] its the only window manager that does what youre asking [06:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 HoudiniMan [06:47] brand0n: ouch ..so can't do it on low memory machines then, I take it? Anwyay thanks for that piece of info :) [06:48] i dont see why not, you can always disable all the eye candy in compiz [06:48] and just enable that specific feature [06:48] im assuming youre using metacity? [06:48] bazhang, much obliged! [06:48] tjz: What am I looking for in fstab? [06:48] brand0n: really? I was always under the assumption compiz implied fast video card and all that jazz ... and yes, metacity, default Ubuntu installation. I have even set reduced_resources to true under metacity properties in gconf-editor [06:49] and what's the best desktop dock around for ubuntu? [06:49] fireOnSong, cairo-dock [06:49] harisund you can use fusion-icon to switch seamlessly between compiz [06:50] if youre using a default ubuntu installation you should already be running compiz [06:50] I'm trying to get a second nick running on 9.10. Module should be rtl8139d but modprobe doesn't work. What should I do? [06:50] try holding the windows key and scorlling the mouse wheel up Harisund [06:50] does it zoom in? [06:50] thanx toastedmilk! [06:50] Nope :( [06:50] well its easy to switch between compiz and metacity [06:50] just do sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [06:50] fireOnSong, yup [06:51] and then run that from your main menu under system tools -> [06:51] and it lets you pick between window decorators and window managers [06:51] brand0n: cool .. all right I will check it out thank you very much :) [06:51] np [06:51] What does 'Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)' mean? [06:51] toastedmilk: it means you chrooted incorrectly, most likely [06:52] where do programs store user data in ubuntu? a la "application data" on windows? [06:52] blakkheim, 'sudo chroot /media/ubuntu'(on which i mounted /dev/sda1) [06:52] Do all 8139 drivers work for a nic that needs rtl8139d? [06:53] toastedmilk: i was right [06:53] HoudiniMan: ~/.programname aka /home/user/.programname [06:53] is ~/ generally used to refer to /home/user? [06:53] HoudiniMan: yes [06:53] blakkheim, so i should try....? [06:53] cool :) [06:54] blakkheim, echo "bbb" < /dev/null returns bbb [06:54] HoudiniMan: and if you are root ~/ is /root/ [06:54] toastedmilk: man chroot, you need to mount /proc and /dev correctly [06:54] iceroot, good to know :) i dont see any .chrome folder in my /user/ folder [06:54] where is python-pyspi? [06:54] blakkheim, yeah... the error also says 'grep /proc/modules: No file or directory. and cat: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory [06:55] Is there any way to kill a tty session? My datacenter seems to have left my machine logged in as root [06:55] At the console [06:55] trying to copy my bookmarks from windows into chrome [06:55] HoudiniMan: dont know the name chrome is using in ~/ but its in ~/ [06:56] iceroot, i have a few programs installed and i dont see anything in /home/user/ except "pictures" "videos" and the like [06:56] HoudiniMan: . at the start means hidden [06:56] HoudiniMan: ls -all ~/ [06:56] oh, i (dont) see [06:58] ok [06:58] i showed hidden files and now i see many folders, still no chrome though... hmm [06:58] HoudiniMan: maybe its called google?

When I try to "print" a document to efax it responds "printer efax com.apple.print.recoverable" and has a yellow "!" triangle over the printer icon. What does this mean?

[07:01] what does that mean, run test [07:01] kto poklika? [07:01] Roasted: but this is the wrong channel [07:01] so ubuntu 9.10 is better then ubuntu 10.04 [07:01] iceroot, oh wait, I thought I was in ubuntu off topic... [07:01] Roasted: also have a look at google for gimp tutorials, there are nice ones [07:02] iceroot, my bad, I was in ubuntu off topic earlier asking gimp questions and a few users in there knew what I was asking. Thought I was still there... my bad. [07:02] Roasted: np [07:02] I'm having a bit of trouble (-_-); [07:02] dose any one no when is ubuntu 10.4 coming out [07:02] zulfi: there is no "better" both are different releases [07:02] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my thinkpad x61 tablet [07:02] zulfi: 2010.04.x [07:02] april [07:03] next mouth right oh [07:03] zulfi: 20(10.04).xx [07:03] nick125: I'm back, after trying a dozen other stuff it is not working yet; this what I found in the log file: http://pastebin.com/d60411ef4 [07:03] nick125: lspci = 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [07:03] so why are they making ubuntu 10.04 im really courues [07:03] I'm trying to enable screen rotation via screen mount switch. [07:03] zulfi: every 6 months there is a new release [07:04] Is there any way to ls the contents of a man page into a text document? [07:04] does search from a folder view go into subdirectories? [07:04] zulfi: 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 [07:04] really dam because i just downloaded 9.10 ND ITS REALLY GOOD RIGHT KNOW [07:04] I' configured the acpi events in fedora effortlessly, but I can't seem to reproduce in ubuntu. [07:04] i see [07:04] zulfi: then use it, its supported for 18 months [07:04] the one i have right know right [07:05] im using 9.10 [07:05] right [07:05] !release | zulfi [07:05] zulfi: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [07:05] oh [07:05] iceroot, is 10.04 stable? [07:05] i get you know sorry for all those Qus [07:06] toastedmilk: no [07:06] zulfi, it's 'now', not 'know' [07:06] so.. I've added a file in /etc/acpi/events with the name of the event as reported by acpi_listen, and the action (a script to rotate the screen) [07:06] hello [07:06] ok that's a better solution [07:06] chrome bookmark sync will keep windows and linux sync'd for me :) [07:06] ericjames, and... [07:06] kind of drunk today [07:06] however the action does not occur unfortunately [07:07] ericjames, you wrote the script? [07:07] anyone any idea why my hard drives won't show up in nautilus and even usb plugged in hard drive won't be there automatically [07:07] toastedmilk, man ls > file [07:07] when I try to start, restart, stop, or debug acpid I get 'acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy' [07:09] toastedmilk: currently the script is just one line 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate right' [07:09] well, two lines including '#!/bin/sh' [07:09] ericjames, debug? [07:09] ericjames, haha of course [07:09] sudo acpid -d [07:09] sudo acpid --debug [07:10] My MotherBoard's manual says it supports memories DDR400/333/266. I checked the memory I'm using on the memory test from linux(that one on grub list), and memory shows this: Settings: 199mhz(DDR399) is it the same ? Or does it actually mean this mobo doesn't support the memory ? I'm having some computer problems and I'm betting on the memory, but I could be wrong. [07:11] Noob question (I think): I just installed LAMP, now I'm not sure how to get to phpmyadmin - how should I go about this? Thanks! [07:11] anthony, have you tried navigating to localhost? [07:12] !info phpmyadmin [07:12] yeah. it says: "It works!" [07:12] But nothing else [07:12] toastedmilk: any idea why i cant start or stop acpid? or why the script wouldn't execute? [07:12] phpmyadmin (source: phpmyadmin): MySQL web administration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 4:3.2.2.1-1 (karmic), package size 3612 kB, installed size 13516 kB [07:12] ericjames, i dunno. do you need to exit the script after it's finished? You should see what acpi is/has to do so your script isn't interrupting acpi's business [07:13] toastedmilk: how do you mean? [07:13] How do I install that? [07:13] anthony, apt-get install [07:14] thanks toastedmilk! [07:15] if i'm booted on the live cd, is is possible to temporarily eject the disk so i can burn a dvd? === ubuntu_ is now known as aceface [07:16] oops [07:16] ericjames, since it says device busy..start it at bootup? I don't really know anythign about scripting acpi [07:16] on localhost it says: "This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." I assume I need phpmyadmin to change the stuff there? [07:16] anthony, or write something for the server to display, but you're getting real close to being offtopic [07:16] has anybody had this problem registering acpi actions to events? [07:17] I tried WAMP on windows, does the menu resemble that if I install LAMP + phpmyadmin? [07:17] Oh [07:17] ericjames, post some debug info to pastebin? [07:17] toastedmilk: I've tried adding the command acpid start to startup applications but nothing changed [07:18] is there an off topic channel that I should go to? [07:18] How can I create a directory so that it cannot exceed 1 gb ? [07:18] ericjames, hmm..I just tried 'sudo acpid' and it said Device or resource busy [07:18] toastedmilk: I'm not sure what would be useful to pastebin.. the scripts and error message? let me know what would be useful and I will get it to you. [07:19] toastedmilk: so I'm not the only one (^__^) [07:20] ericjames, man acpid has some information about how debian differs from other linux flavors(e.g. fedora) [07:20] How can I create a directory so that it cannot exceed 1 gb ? [07:22] ericjames, what it seems to me is that you'll have to stop(it always says it's busy?) acpid and then add the script, then restart [07:22] so what's the deal with the "alternative" installer? [07:23] there's both that and a 64bit desktop cd? [07:24] StuckMojo: alternate isn't a live-cd, textmode installer, more user-options [07:24] Does anyone know how to mount /proc and /dev correctly from a live cd? [07:24] Hi.I removed apache2 [07:24] llutz: does it have both 64 and 32 bit? [07:24] but its still binded to port 80 :( [07:24] toastedmilk: mount proc /proc -t proc [07:24] on one cd? or are there 2? [07:24] StuckMojo: there are two [07:25] llutz, ..just like that? [07:25] 32bit & 64bit [07:25] StuckMojo: 2 different cds === mohamed is now known as Guest42371 [07:25] toastedmilk: the difference mentioned is the naming convention of the event files. in fedora i name the event X61ToTablet.conf, in debian it's just X61ToTablet [07:25] boy they don't make it easy to find the 64bit desktop cd [07:25] there's no obvious link to it [07:25] StuckMojo: look for desktop amd64 [07:25] just torrent it [07:26] ericjames, yikes.. [07:26] Mmm...amd64 [07:26] toastedmilk: I have added the script and restarted mt computer.. several times. [07:26] toastedmilk: yikes? [07:26] ericjames, like I said man, just takin' shots in the dark. I don't know the first thing about acpid scripting [07:26] StuckMojo: here it is http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ [07:27] I appreciate your willingness to help none the less! (^__^) [07:27] zoryk: i realize it's not that hard to get, i just find it odd that it's not obviously linked [07:27] off the download page [07:27] nor is the alternative cd [07:27] ericjames, sorry i couldn't find a solution for you : [ [07:27] toastedmilk: no worries [07:27] I'll come back and ask later i suppose. [07:27] yeahh i agree, maybe they're trying to vet people so if you want the x64 you need to find it :P [07:27] i'm on the live cd, on my mac. I can't access some of my files on the HD because of permissions [07:28] zoryk: lol [07:28] aceface, sudo [07:28] ys yes [07:28] toastedmilk: where do i do that within the file browsers === cayman is now known as Guest85518 [07:28] llutz, how do I mount proc on /media/ubuntu? [07:28] llutz, which links to /dev/sda1 [07:28] toastedmilk: if i dont feel comfortable with mv or cp [07:28] toastedmilk: mount proc /media/ubuntu/proc -t proc [07:29] aceface: gksu nautilus [07:29] mneptok: thanks [07:29] aceface: sudo nautilus [07:29] aceface, lol [07:29] makes sense [07:29] haha [07:29] beat me to it :) [07:29] gksu, not sudo [07:29] I'm terrible at this [07:29] ericjames: sudo should not be used with gra[hical apps [07:29] ah, i see. how come? (just curious) [07:30] ericjames: sudo might not set env correctly for gui-apps [07:30] ericjames: terminal closes app dies? [07:30] !gksu > ericjames [07:30] ericjames, please see my private message [07:30] !_! [07:30] "Bus error (core dumped) [07:30] should I see that [07:30] when i man gksu ?

[07:30] aceface: Did you say that you are mounting a MAC file system? [07:31] hfs+ [07:31] it's mounted all nice like [07:31] but i don't have permissions to look at my own files [07:31] aceface: I didnt know it would mount. Last time I treid with puppylinux it refused. [07:31] ubuntu live disk sees it [07:31] Gryphon1: blender is a 3d-rendering app [07:31] ubottu: llutz: ttyX: thanks [07:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:31] aceface: did you get an error when opening gksu nautilus? [07:32] mneptok: thx :) [07:32] hi, i can't find a way to get the UTC time, it must be a command or somehting to list the time [07:32] pkm4o93: yeah i'm confused here [07:32] i get a bash input output error [07:32] simion314: date -u [07:32] the problem is this, i ejectd the live cd a moment ago in order to burn the dvd ;_: [07:32] aceface: what is the aim of mounting the mac filesystem? backup some stuff?

I know, is was wondering if there was another program that beats it? [07:33] aceface: Woah woah woah. You can't eject the disc while running Live [07:33] pkm4o93: i know it's crazy [07:33] aceface: why not put live cd onto a usb stick and then burn the dvd?

Puppylinux can go completely into RAM. [07:34] pkm4o93: does it support hsf+ easily?

[08:11] it's a little bit... difficult to beleive^^ [08:11] what i just thought was wierd is wine was working great smooth but after the ubuntu update just gone [08:12] i'm trying to check for updates using update manager; i'd set a proxy when I was at college. but now it still complains "cannot find proxy". how do i let it know I'm using a direct connection? i checked synaptic and network proxy: all are configured as direct connection to the net. [08:12] akirapowers, the ubuntu updater has never really been perfect; it's gotten way better than its original form but occasionally things get mislaid [08:12] toastedmilk: empathy uses the telepathy backend. a bit like pidgin is using purple [08:12] akirapowers, try apt-get --reinstall install wine [08:12] toastedmilk: geeks are known for bad humour anyway [08:12] (I think that's how you do it) [08:12] Did you have update wine before?

[08:28] Ademan: yeah I thought that's what you wanted [08:28] Ademan, try sudo dhclient auto wlan0 [08:28] Ademan, if that doesn't work pastebin the output of dhclient [08:28] toastedmilk: there's no wlan0 at all [08:28] hmm still not showing up [08:28] anybody in here use pandora? im curious what the best "out of browser" way to listen is [08:28] Ademan, pastebin output of dhclient [08:28] HoudiniMan, there's a widget for it [08:29] pandora rules [08:29] HoudiniMan, I prefer that myself [08:29] toastedmilk, ubuntu has widgets?? [08:29] lol [08:29] I had trouble today when I installed a new 9.10 box, WEP does not play well, but WAP went without a hitch.

[08:29] HoudiniMan, hahaha, yup! they call 'em screenlets [08:29] you still thier sir ?

[08:29] Can i run a GPRS Modem through wine???thats configured to work on windows, anyone know? please?:) [08:29] toastedmilk: why would dhclient have any useful output if i have no wireless interface? [08:29] Gryphon1: if the device isn't identified by Linux itself, there's no way of making wine do it [08:30] akirapowers, what are you installing? [08:30] Ademan, so wait. your problem isn't that you can't connect to your wireless? [08:30] sir_fawnpung [08:30] llutz, any theories? [08:30] toastedmilk, i think his computer doesn't see his hardware properly [08:30] driver issue or something [08:30] toastedmilk: no really, no [08:30] llutz, bleh. thanks for taking a look at it. [08:30] It's seeing it with LiveCD just not after HD install right ? [08:31] Can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/m53e25112 [08:31] guessstill not her ehdini [08:31] hudini [08:31] Ademan, well, in that case idk [08:31] Myrtti: Thanks :) [08:31] akirapowers, im here, i said what are you trying to install? [08:31] wine was curupted or osmthing [08:31] toastedmilk: it is, but the problem before that is that i don't have drivers for my wireless NIC, *but* the LiveCD found and allowed me to install drivers via the Hardware Drivers window [08:31] akirapowers: if you type in few first letters and hit tab, chances are that your irc client autocompletes the nick for you [08:31] HoudiniMan, I'm not sure where I got them...hahahaha. They should be pretty easily accessible [08:31] it let me uninstall it formt heirnow tryong to put bakc on it let me but no icons [08:32] Ademan, so..you need to use a proprietary driver for your wireless card? [08:32] toastedmilk: fekkin broadcom... [08:32] toastedmilk, so are they native screenlets or an app to run screenlets? [08:32] Ademan, that's a bug on the installer, send it in on Launchpad [08:32] Ademan, broadcom cards can be tricky [08:32] HoudiniMan, I'm pretty sure it's written with python [08:33] HoudiniMan, I think you can get them from the repositories [08:33] screenlets are python yes HoudiniMan [08:33] Ademan: watch your language, obfuscating swearing is still swearing [08:33] akirapowers, sorry i've never installed wine [08:33] wine is good stuff [08:33] Myrtti: :-/ [08:33] how you do the name thing in here [08:33] toastedmilk, Ademan, so python executes right on the OS right? [08:33] akirapowers, wine doesn't work well with my setup : [ [08:33] akirapowers, me [08:34] HoudiniMan, but of course! [08:34] woah neat [08:34] if he loads off the livecd can't he copy the driver to his existing file system? [08:34] If it works on LiveCD, then yan manually configure it "if" lspci lists the hardware, but it should do it automatically at install. Ultimately, that's what needs to be fixed. [08:35] help someone! got a proxy issue. no clue how to fix it! [08:35] oops ... then you can manually .. .. .. [08:36] dnivra: you could try and relogin. (log out, log in). [08:36] Myrtti, will give that a shot. [08:37] Hello people. I either have a really simple problem or a pain problem :) [08:37] I cant change the files in filesystem. What do I need to be able to do this? I'm, as you've probably guessed, new to Ubuntu and Linux. [08:37] hello all [08:37] so sometimes software isn't in "ubuntu software center" but you can get it using apt-get... how do i tell what is available on apt-get? [08:37] Is there any linux-ubuntu program that can accelerate the internet speed???:) [08:37] SiHa: You need to use the sudo command to modify files outside of your /home folder [08:37] !sudo | SiHa [08:37] SiHa: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [08:37] can anyone help me understand aptitude (command line) ... how can I use it to fix package dependency problems? I've managed to break my system and kde won't start [08:37] hi [08:37] hello. Is there a standard directory where compiled programs install? [08:38] can anybody tell me how to manage my iphone with linux [08:38] :'( [08:38] Gryphon1: I doubt it, stuff to filter out garbage, [08:38] is there any sotware like itune for linux to manage iphone [08:38] HoudiniMan, you probably just have the wrong syntax for apt-get [08:38] well i dont want to just make up names [08:38] zyxon: Any source can install to any location. A standard default install prefix however is /usr/local [08:38] apt-get hulu [08:38] ? [08:39] HoudiniMan, depending on which application you want, there should be information online for the correct command. I just use google :) [08:39] soreau: thanks a lot. :) [08:39] apt-get -f shoudl try to solve brokeb deps. [08:39] I kinda tried this. But this doesnt allow me to just add a file in the gui browser?

[08:42] SiHa,I'm not an expert on the GUI Package Manager, rarely do I use it. [08:42] toastedmilk: chrooting, and its uses, advantage... [08:42] rumpsy, what do you need to use chroot for? [08:42] !chroot [08:42] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [08:43] rumpsy, now what do you need to learn about it?

[08:45] ke1ha: we will not more than this !

See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [08:48] ta-da! [08:49] Gryphon1: checkin here, http://ipodlinuxinstl.sourceforge.net/ === pete_ is now known as Guest81190 [08:50] Can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/m53e25112 [08:51] rumpsy: there is no support for 16GB :( [08:51] can i install itune using wine will it work with my iphone [08:51] Gryphon1: i donno much about that anyway [08:52] rewati, you should probably use a virtual machine [08:53] what is the hotkey to lock the system? [08:53] rewati: last time I checked iTunes 9 doesn't work on wine; as toastedmild said your best option is to use a virtual machine [08:53] an alternative to itunes.. songbird [08:53] HoudiniMan, check keyboard shortcuts: System -> Preference -> Keyboard Shortcuts. [08:54] rewati, and Virtialbox I believe you can share a directory outside of the VM to have access to it. [08:54] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [08:54] oops sorry guys [08:54] songbird in linux? , is that great than rythmbox?... [08:54] i think its compatible with ipods [08:54] Does anyone know if it is possible to download from a site like rapidshare and uploading.com using a text based browser in a shell? [08:55] rumpsy, im a fan of songbird [08:55] dnivra, thanks! [08:55] HoudiniMan, no problem! [08:55] ? [08:55] The more you stay away from Wine, the better of you'll be. Some things work well, others are a nightmare. [08:55] fuzzybunny, idk if that's really a good idea, but yes, it should work [08:55] аокдаокд [08:55] toastedmilk: may be, but i like rythmbox . . :) [08:55] which ipods is it compatible with?? [08:56] toastedmilk, do you have any idea what i would do on uploading.com the download button doesn't allow me to follow it [08:56] Hey, everyone! I'm in serious need of help. [08:56] Gryphon1: you need to read the whole story of that website [08:56] OK [08:56] :) [08:56] My friend has a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 - a cam I heard works very well with Ubuntu. [08:56] rumpsy, yeah, there's a python console for scripts! [08:56] Her computer just crashed, so I switched her to Ubuntu in hopes everything would work. [08:57] fuzzybunny, I'm not sure if you can do so with rapidshare: cos there's a wait period and stuff for it right? [08:57] Unfortunately, when using Skype, the cam works but the microphone on the cam does not! [08:57] fuzzybunny, my advice is to find the link you want and then just type that straight into the browser [08:57] toastedmilk: For what? [08:57] Gryphon1, I got rid of my iPod over it, but it's been a few years. The iPod just totally ignores the MP3 tags and uses some kind of awful proprietary database that iTunes sends it, it's kind of like MTP players only worse. [08:57] dnivra, yeah it has one of those timer things [08:57] so it was filing all my MP3s under "Unknown Artist > Unknown Album" [08:57] toastedmilk, yeah i tried that and it does the same thing [08:57] :/ [08:57] rumpsy, well, you could write a python script that finds and removes doubles in your music lists [08:57] Nobody can help? [08:58] toastedmilk: oh . . :) .. okay [08:58] GoldChaos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype. try that. [08:58] fuzzybunny, ...im saying get the link of where the button would take you [08:58] dnivra: Already did [08:58] No help. [08:58] toastedmilk, i am not sure how to do that ;) [08:58] hi guys [08:58] It says the mic works with an updated uvcvideo driver [08:58] toastedmilk: But i have to be good in python language though. [08:58] fuzzybunny, find the link in a normal browser [08:58] I had her compile and install the latest version [08:58] It didn't help. [08:58] how do i check all the routes present on my ubuntu server? [08:58] will "route -a" work?? [08:59] rumpsy, exactly. and songbird comes with a doubles-deleter :) [08:59] crespo, maybe "route -n" [08:59] rumpsy, get on the programmers IRC and ask them for a simple grep | awk | sed script, should eb simple for them. [08:59] The only audio input devices that currently appear on Skype's list is Pulse Audio Server (local) [09:00] GoldChaos, I'm not sure. i used skype with no problems. My friend had video problems but we debugged it alright. check if the mic works with ubuntu using the sound recorder. if not wait, someone might help out. [09:00] Crapple can't just build in a tag reader and allow you to drag and drop. I'd say that iPod is the second worst player out there, only behind Zune, and buying one to use it with anything other than iTunes is crazy. [09:00] Can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/m53e25112 [09:00] toastedmilk: Its seems its not the only reason for you to get attracted with songbird.. === Bash is now known as Bash23 [09:01] rumpsy, nah, i normally use rhythmbox. but i like the interface with songbird, and the fact that it includes a browser. it just runs really slowly on my computer === peaquino is now known as register [09:01] my monitor keeps dimming out, and i set under power managerment to wait an hour... where do i change it for dimming? === register is now known as peaquino [09:01] DaemonFC: Im looking into converting my ipod to linux, i hear is posible:) [09:01] ke1ha: no! . . i have to learn on my own, that will be in my mind for ever last [09:01] HoudiniMan, did you just install ubuntu? [09:01] toastedmilk, yep [09:01] HoudiniMan, lol, coz you've had a lot of problems in the past hour :P [09:02] toastedmilk, Songbird really is just the bastard child of VLC and Firefox, I much prefer drag and drop with Nautilus, Easytag, and Totem :) [09:02] toastedmilk: you carry on ... brb [09:02] hello, I'm having problems with client bittorrent transmission. can you help me? [09:02] dnivra: I don't have access to the computer at the moment. I'm looking for ANY possible solutions. Could it be a skype issue, perhaps? :/ [09:02] toastedmilk, yeah i have asked a lot of questions heh [09:02] marlen, can you be more specific? [09:02] marlen: what is the problem [09:02] DaemonFC, Ah, that's why it's so slow. VLC. [09:02] .. well awk and sed are powerful tools, if you master them, then throw in some perl, you can do allot of data manipulation. [09:02] the port is closed when I do the test [09:02] GoldChaos, I've no clue. ask the person to test sound using soudn recorder. or someone else might help out. [09:02] HoudiniMan, is it 9.10? [09:03] alright. :/ [09:03] toastedmilk, yep [09:03] HoudiniMan, then I have no idea, because there's no xorg.conf [09:03] I have xubuntu [09:03] Gryphon1, You can flash over the Crapple firmware with Rockbox and get one fine portable media player, but the problem there is that iPod has an internal battery, and Crapple will refuse to replace the battery when it dies if you have Rockbox on it. So be prepared to reflash it with Crapple firmware and risk bricking it again when that day comes. [09:03] ke1ha: if you know perl, you hardly need sed/awk anymore [09:03] marlen: you have to open whatever port you are using on your router/firewall === Gateway is now known as Guest23928 [09:03] marlen, #xubuntu [09:03] .. true [09:03] best thing you get with Rockbox is Wavpack, FLAC, and Vorbis [09:03] toastedmilk, i think there is, my nvidia thing was writing to it [09:03] marlen: i had the same problem in morning, but i cleared that [09:04] how can I open the port? [09:04] I'm a beginner with linux. [09:04] marlen: you need to add some info to your NAT [09:04] toastedmilk, VLC isn't bad, the reason Songbird is slow is because they strapped Firefox onto it and use XUL plugins [09:04] * DaemonFC pukes [09:04] HoudiniMan, hmm. run 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [09:05] toastedmilk, The last time I tried Songbird was on Vista, and it was eating up well over 150 megs of RAM playing an MP3 file [09:05] DaemonFC, I never got VLC to run smoothly. But I totally believe you. Do you want to write me a python script that finds and removes doubles? [09:05] marlen: At first open your router/modem using browser, this will be default ip 192.168.1.1 [09:05] DaemonFC, ouch...hahaha [09:05] DeamonFC: How long do ipod batteries last????????????:( [09:06] off to network room, disconnecting [09:06] toastedmilk, got it open [09:06] ok, thank you. [09:06] HoudiniMan, well, close it and don't save it! [09:06] Gryphon1, Depends on how much you use it and your charging patterns. It's best to completely drain it before recharging. 8 hours a day every day it'll last about 1-2 years [09:07] HoudiniMan, You may need to set rates in xorg.conf based on your monitor [09:07] the capacity slowly goes down every time you charge the thing until it can no longer hold a usable charge [09:07] only?? [09:07] marlen: the firewall blocking the port is most likely in your router; try to access its software using your browser; sometimes typing "home" in the adress bar gets you there [09:07] Gryphon1, yeah, the typical expectation is 2 years [09:07] marlen: goto advance setup, search for NAT option, add your current system IP, or what ever port you want to open, if you find fault internet, don't hesitate to switch to default settings [09:07] can i get a battery and change it my self? [09:08] toastedmilk, for the screen dimming from idleness? [09:08] Gryphon1, No, it's built in. Disassembly voids warranty. Crapple charges $50 to replace the battery. [09:08] probably need to set a route and open that port to the box. [09:08] I don't often have this PC plugged into sound, and I want Pidgin and/or Empathy to 'system beep' whenever I get a message. [09:08] HoudiniMan, correct. I would check google/forums to see if someone has had similar problems. maybe with nvidia, maybe with your monitor [09:09] HoudiniMan, a word of warning though. don't go screwing around with xorg.conf without knowing what you're doing! [09:09] Gryphon1, Setting your screen darker and having the backlight turn off after 5 seconds is a good way to prolong the battery [09:09] it may give you another 5% usable life [09:09] this seems like an OS setting more than display setting [09:09] toastedmilk, HoudiniMan, always make a backup of xorg.conf before editing it. [09:10] <[[[_DerMeister_> q chucha aqui [09:10] HoudiniMan, it seems like a (assuming your problem is what I think it is) screensaver settings.

[09:32] yeah, chmod 775 [09:32] chmod 775 to fix? [09:33] toastedmilk: not sure if it was necessary, but before 'sudo acpid start' i did a 'sudo acpid --debug' and it told me that two user events were registered. [09:33] yeah, should work. [09:33] not it works perfectly. [09:33] ericjames, awesome. now you're that much more proficient in acpid scripting :P [09:33] ke1ha: Awesome! thanks [09:33] ericjames, or at least on debian-based os's [09:34] screen rotate, stylus and touch rotate, and the tablet d-pad rotates [09:34] thanks all im out peace [09:34] What is the difference between chmod 600 and 775?

I have this tablet button that has a picture of a toolbox. in windows w/ lenovo drivers it brings up a shortcut menu for volume brightness etc. I want to map it to the super key or alt key, something useful (as i only have a couple buttons in tablet mode) [09:38] ok now that I have my server fixed. When I try to upload to joomla i receive this error "Permission denied in /var/www/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 298". Anyone know whats going on with this error? [09:38] rumpsy: no , its not right [09:38] if one have draged "stiffness" on wobbly windows up to max, so that any active windows jumps around like crazy.. what would be solution be? [09:39] "a friend did it". [09:39] the problem it, linux calls it xf86ScreenSaver (identical to fn+f2) [09:39] and it locks the screen.. [09:39] hello, which paket includes singlemode admin console?? [09:39] r3za: what? [09:39] anao: how come? [09:39] so, though I can map it to whatever, it still always locks the screen. [09:39] ke1ha: I'm stuck on IRLP (into a dummy load) until I can get back on HF. At least I can keep in touch with part of the ham community this way. [09:39] seamarshall, do an ls -al on the directory and tell me what it gives you back [09:39] r3za: check for notification applet on your panel, if not add that [09:39] anao: you mean the recovery console you can get to from the bootloader menu? [09:40] rumpsy: its dosent do :( [09:40] koltroll: what do you mean? [09:40] any way I can prevent this?

[09:40] PingFloyd, well I changed an advanced setting on the wobbly windows so that the window is just jumping around like crazy, totally deformed. And I like to fix it :) [09:40] anao: why you went to single mode? [09:40] no, the dir that's failing, full path [09:41] anao: you're not making any sense. Why do you want to know? if you're trying to remove it, you'll break the system [09:41] ke1ha: Yeah, I run that too. My node does both Echolink and IRLP. [09:41] or you could just do this chmod 775 -R /www [09:41] anao: what are you trying to do? [09:41] anao: you should not enter in single mode take our advice ! [09:42] any ideas about how to disable xf86ScreenSaver key? [09:42] koltroll: will it let you change at the same place? [09:42] r3za: got that thing? [09:42] PingFloyd, I can't change anything now since any active window starts jumping around like crazy => [09:42] rumpsy: there are valid usecases for recovery mode, telling people not to use it is a bit strange [09:42] koltroll: I see [09:42] koltroll: that's in gnome? [09:43] PingFloyd, KDE actually [09:43] seamarshall, you probably changed ownership of the directory .. and when the web-server tries to use it, it can't because of the ownership [09:43] rumpsy: yes , here it is notification area , but it didnt fix my problem [09:43] koltroll: not sure for kde, but gnome you could use the gconf-editor from command line [09:43] ke1ha, so I need to do chown on it? [09:43] toastedmilk: did you see those messages? [09:44] I dont it's hard to say from this end, I'd nuke the folder and reinstall the joomla as it sets the right permissions how it needs it. [09:44] PingFloyd, thanks, I googled for gconf-editor for kde and found that it's "kwriteconfig". [09:44] Myrtti: is these are common, recovery mode and single mode? [09:44] koltroll: there you go :) === Guest23928 is now known as Gateway` [09:44] opps. . I don't know ... [09:44] hi [09:44] koltroll: I figured it must have something similar [09:45] rumpsy: yes. === root is now known as Guest48885 [09:45] hello [09:45] Myrtti: o_O . . okay . . . [09:45] can any body help me with my linux install please ? [09:45] koltroll: it's kind of funny they'd allow such a crazy setting [09:45] Does anyone here use spotify? I tried logging on but I get an error 117 something about it being blocked but I already forwarded the ports and it works fine in Windows... so I don't know what to do to get it to log in. [09:46] Guest48885, Can you please change your name, and state your question a little bit more precise? [09:46] koltroll: you would think they would put an upper sane limit === Guest48885 is now known as Firas [09:46] I have a new Ubuntu 9.10 install, so I have Grub 2. Now I want to load the RAID module during the start of Grub 2. I found that I need to put the raid module in the variable $GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES but where do I set the value of that varaible? [09:46] ok [09:46] koltroll: maybe on that setting it will stop jumping around in a day or two [09:47] hi...is somebody using xmonad here? [09:48] i have installed BK4 on my virtual box but i cant find my wifi device ? [09:48] Firas, BK4? [09:48] seamarshall, when you did the chmod 600 where were you in the directory tree and were you root when you did that ? [09:48] Firas: BK4? [09:48] how do i start LXDE from terminal [09:48] you mean BT4? [09:48] ooooooooooooooh yeah sorry [09:49] BT4 [09:49] PingFloyd, :) [09:49] Firas, Do you mean Backtrack 4? If, it does only support usb wifi cards when in virtualbox. [09:49] !backtrack | Firas [09:49] Firas: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [09:49] what package to I put releated to install CDs? [09:49] kubanc: you would use apt-get [09:49] Firas: again, bt4? what is that? [09:49] tonsil: are you running a firewall on anywhere? [09:49] kubanc: not sure if there is a meta-package for it or not, but you could try apt-cache search lxde [09:50] what package to I put releated to install CDs? (in relation to putting in a launchpad bug) [09:50] BT4 = Backtrack 4 [09:50] PingFloyd, i already did, but as default my ubuntu goes into KDE, and KDE is broken, so it stoped gdm and went into terminal. now i would like to go to LXDE GUI [09:50] SolarisBoy: Nope. I stopped the firewall in Firestarter but still it wouldn't connect. [09:50] ericjames, sorry man, i had to go to the bathroom. lemme scroll up [09:50] kubanc: to see any possible lxde related packages. If you want the full blown lxde environment, you'll probably want to find the one that pulls in all the other lxde related dependencies, you can use apt-cache show for that [09:51] tonsil: but windows connects fine your saying? [09:51] kubanc: you should be able to choose lxde for you session one of the gdm menus [09:51] Yeah. [09:51] ericjames, that's way out of my league [09:51] ericjames, sorry :/ [09:51] tonsil: is this two seperate hosts with 2 seperate IP's that would need to seperate forwarding rules on the NAT side? [09:51] PingFloyd, it worked going into LXDe session, i stoped gdm and then enter startX in teminal, and it went into LXDE GUO [09:51] ericjames, good luck though! [09:51] SolarisBoy: hey :) [09:52] kubanc: one of the benefits of display managers in general is that you can choose different DEs and/or WMs when you log in [09:52] rumpsy: hi there [09:52] * toastedmilk goes to bed [09:52] ubottu, i search in the internet on D-link website but i did not find any drivers for linux :-( [09:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:52] toastedmilk: no worries, thanks for your help! [09:52] SolarisBoy: i hope you doing good :) [09:52] toastedmilk: g-night [09:52] i search in the internet on D-link website but i did not find any drivers for linux :-( [09:52] kubanc: you can use startx script to startup X if you want, but then you'll usually need to edit your ~/.xinitrc [09:52] rumpsy: yes i am,, tired this morning =) but well,, and your self? [09:52] PingFloyd, it looks like that for default gdm session there is KDE GUI, can i change this to LXDE? [09:53] kubanc: yeah, there should be an option to select which type of session you want as default [09:53] kubanc: right there in the gdm login screen [09:53] SolarisBoy: yeah good i'm .. [09:53] how do i logout from KDE in terminal window to go into login screen? [09:53] how can I add modules for Grub2 to load during boot? [09:53] SolarisBoy: I didn't do any port forwarding in Windows but spotify works there. I can connect to spotify before. I don't know what happened as to why I can't connect anymore. I don't remember changing any settings. I found this thread but it didn't really work for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035338 [09:54] kubanc: if you logged into kde through startx, then you'll just want to shutdown kde [09:54] oh thought you mentioned something about forwarding ports... [09:55] PingFloyd, the only thing i see in KDE is black screen with a little white terminal, so i need to exit KDE from terminal [09:55] SolarisBoy: me? [09:55] you can test if that port is available by telnet to the port 'telnet $lanIP 8070' [09:55] I forwarded ports in this PC that runs Ubuntu but not the one in Windows, SolarisBoy. [09:55] . [09:55] anybody have any idea how one might go about disabling the screensaver/screen lock event triggered by the xf86ScreenSaver key? [09:55] kubanc: are you in a VC or in a terminal in KDE? [09:55] tonsil: you mean you accepted connections on the ports no? forwarding the port locally on the box or to elsewhere would be diff.... [09:56] SolarisBoy: you continue, i'll be back [09:56] rumpsy: k [09:56] morning [09:56] PingFloyd, what is VC? But i thing i am i terminal in a KDE. can i see in terminal which GUI am I using= [09:56] kubanc: VC is virtual console i.e. alt-f1, alt-f2 etc. [09:56] tonsil: are you behind a router? [09:57] SolarisBoy, frankly I don't really know much about this. I just went to the configuration site of my router (192.168.x.x) and opened the ports there. [09:57] Yes, I am. [09:57] tonsil: you may need to additionally open the port on that router [09:57] PingFloyd, no no, i put command /etc/init.d/gdm start into terminal, and this is were it took me [09:57] kubanc: didn't the login come up? [09:58] Can apps start on a specific Desktop (eg Desktop 3)? [09:58] PingFloyd, if i satart X server from VC it works fine [09:58] SolarisBoy, how do I do that? [09:58] PingFloyd, no it didn't [09:58] Howdy. I've set up a custom screenshot script and bound it to z -- the script is called (I see the notify-send cmd notification), however, my scrot does not seem to be running. Anyone had issues with this? I tried adding DISPLAY=:0 scrot -s ... but to no avail. [09:58] tonsil: the outside world doesn't see 192.168.x.x the port may very well be open to devices on your LAN however beyond the NAT router this will be the issue because you need to open a port on the public NATd IP.. [09:58] kubanc: I think understand, you ran gdm from within terminal in kde? [09:58] tonsil: do you have a linksys/netgear router or are you behind the ISP provided device? [09:59] I have a Linksys router. [09:59] tonsil: find the web interface to the router which generally listens at the routers IP address and reachable by http in your browser,there may be an option depending on your model to forward ports to the internal IP address [09:59] PingFloyd, no no, if i reboot computer, i do not see login windows, it gets me directly to (probably) KDE in which i can only see a black background and a 1/4 of the screen is a white terminal === andrew_ is now known as Guest28452 [10:00] Thanks, SolarisBoy. I'll just do some googling around. [10:00] sweet [10:00] tonsil: in general most linksys place them selves on x.x.x.1 so typing that into your browser URL should take you to the router admin GUI [10:00] kubanc: sounds like it is starting via startx instead of gdm if that is the case [10:00] tonsil: np [10:00] Anybody can helpme, where to get the regional language output keyboard for launchpad translation? [10:00] PingFloyd, but if i start xserver from terminal windows (alt-f1) it gets me directly to LXDE, which is working fine [10:01] kubanc: if you installed lxde from the package in repo, it should create a session entry in gdm [10:01] tonsil: this may give some assistance http://www.dnsexit.com/support/knowledge_base/router/Linksys-2.htm [10:01] PingFloyd, I think it's the problem with KDE, so what i wanna to do is to set by default to go into LXDE and not KDE [10:01] kubanc:1 [10:02] lksj: please don't PM me [10:02] 192.168.1.1 is default for linksys [10:02] there you have it [10:03] kubanc: in gdm, the default behavior is that once you select a different session, it should ask if you want to make it default [10:03] PingFloyd, can i see in terminal which GUI am i using right now? [10:04] kubanc: so after you install say lxde, there should be a new entry for it in gdm menus. When you choose a different one than the current default (say were usually running kde, but this time chose lxde) it should ask if you want to make it the default session. [10:04] kubanc: you can, but that isn't what you want [10:04] PingFloyd, yes i agree, but how do i get to login window? [10:04] kubanc: you shutdown the current DE/WM you're in [10:05] kubanc: choose logout [10:05] or you can kill it X [10:05] SolarisBoy, I think that's similar to what I did earlier. Here's a screencap: http://imgur.com/xNupz.png [10:05] kubanc: at the login screnn, there is a word called, option click that and choose your own [10:05] screen* [10:05] rumpsy, i do not see login screen right now [10:06] Server not found [10:06] kubanc: logoff.. [10:06] How do you go about adding more desktop sides on kde 4.4? (for the cube) [10:06] rumpsy, ctrl+alt+shift doesn't get my into login windows [10:06] rumpsy, how do i logoff in terminal window? [10:06] ;> you sure that web server isn't behind the linksy too? =) [10:06] kubanc, rumpsy assuming you ahve more than one desktop installed. [10:06] kubanc: exit [10:06] sounds more like you're in a console [10:07] kubanc: if you are in terminal, start GDM [10:07] just do an init [10:07] Hello.. Is there any way to allow root login to gui in ubuntu 9.10? :) [10:07] rumpsy, lol, the only thing i needed to put into terminal was exit and it put me into login window [10:08] SiHa, just use gksu nautilus [10:08] in terminal [10:08] tonsil: tonsil that link isn't working [10:08] kubanc: sounds like you were in a minimal session that just starts a terminal instead of a WM/DE [10:08] kubanc: that is the command to logout, lol [10:08] was trying to login to here the other day and I got "Software" incompatibilty issues wha the hey is that about ? I could get into Dalnet or Urchat servers and effnet etc but freenode chucked me eh any clues ? [10:08] What link? [10:08] metaleks, ehm.. what? :P [10:08] rumpsy, you want so say XTERM session? [10:08] type "gksu nautilus" in terminal to have graphical root access [10:09] SiHa: Yepper. Something like Systen -->Administration --> login win- aw crap, they've changed it... Sorry. [10:09] kubanc: ctrl+alt+backspace [10:09] http://i.imgur.com/xNupz.png <-- that one does [10:09] rumpsy: what's lame is that key combo is disabled by default :( [10:10] rumpsy: easy to change, but imho it makes more sense to have that key combo available by default [10:10] rumpsy, i fixed it now, it looks like i was in Xterm session, and i also tried ctrl+alt+backspace but it didn't work to go into login session. the only thing that worked, is, that i put "exit" into terminal, and then i changed my GUI, and now it works. [10:10] tonsil: that looks correct have you saved the settings and tried rebooting the router? [10:10] rumpsy: kubanc's situation is a good example [10:10] Hi [10:11] SolarisBoy: Yeah. I did earlier. Before I came here. It didn't work though. [10:11] tonsil: also ensure you aren't using dhcp and the address is diff... [10:11] kubanc: This is what i was telling you o_O [10:11] PingFloyd, thanks for helping me [10:11] rumpsy, yes, thank you for helping me [10:11] How to give ip Address from a file in ubuntu [10:11] kubanc: you're welcome [10:12] kubanc: :D . . happy day [10:12] kubanc: lxde is a great DE for lower end systems [10:12] quesiton is, how did he get to the console, was it by accident or intention ? [10:12] SiHa: Have you tried clicking 'other' and logging in as root that way? [10:12] kubanc: I definitely recommend it for older systemss [10:12] dallis: yup.. Did not work though [10:12] But the gksu is what I need [10:13] PingFloyd: but gnome is also good for older system.. [10:13] SolarisBoy: I just checked Network Connections and the connection I'm using right now has AUTOMATIC (DHCP) in the ipv4 Settings Method. What should I change it to/ [10:13] PingFloyd, yes, that's why I installed LXDE. i tried lubuntu, but there is no installation . so i installed Kubuntu, and then LXDE. now the only thing i need to do is delete KDE [10:13] SiHa: Ah. Glad I could pretend to help. [10:13] rumpsy: I like gnome, but it tends to be a bit more demanding relatively speaking [10:13] I have 4 sheets in an excel file , in open office can I merge them all ? [10:13] Hehehe.. thanks for the pretended help dallis [10:13] kubanc: I think there is a meta-package for lubuntu iirc [10:14] silv3r_m00n, cut and paste? [10:14] kubanc: isnt it possible to install ubiquity within the live cd? [10:14] Hm... I don't like irssi showing my username.... [10:14] papsh: the sheets are big [10:14] tonsil: 1. check for an option in your DHCP server to reserve a static address for that MAC address on your ubuntu and make it always be the one thats forwarded... 2. set a static IP on a host you would like to forward any ports to from the linksys [10:14] and thanks metaleks [10:14] but column structure is same [10:14] silv3r_m00n, wrong channel, but yes you can, same way as Excell. [10:14] 1 or 2 [10:14] kubanc: as you are using it i mean? [10:15] anybody have any idea how one might go about disabling the screensaver/screen lock event triggered by the xf86ScreenSaver key? [10:15] then im tired... [10:15] teage, ubiquity, don't know what this is, sory :( [10:15] kubanc: its the installer [10:15] kubanc: I know I read something about that somewhere, one sec [10:15] HI [10:15] anyone there [10:15] time to try something new - any wine gurus here? I need to install it [10:15] and again,,, tonsil i forget is the windows and ubuntu two seperate hosts physically or a dual boot? [10:16] ter35: yes.. about 1333 of us here [10:16] !welcome | ter35 [10:16] ter35: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:16] 1334 people's are here :-) [10:16] two separate hosts, SolarisBoy. [10:16] teage, probably the only thing to install ubuntu with LXDE, is to install ubuntu without GUI and then install LXDE [10:16] HI' [10:16] tonsil: Im suspecting the Ubuntu IP isn't x.x.x.102? [10:16] HOw to change ip address from file in ubuntu [10:16] Hi, how do I install a beryl theme in Ubuntu 9.10? [10:17] kubanc, have you tried the server install, then add only the desktop you want ? [10:17] ter35: have a look at the file /etc/network/interfaces [10:17] kubanc: there's lubuntu-desktop package [10:17] kubanc: worth a shot though, pop the cd in, hop online, open terminal and apt-get install ubiquity [10:17] SolarisBoy, I just checked ifconfig and it said x.x.x.102. [10:17] heh [10:17] ter35: or you can run "ifconfig" manually.. that will be reset when you reboot though [10:17] hey :) anyone tried flashdevelop under wine here? [10:17] !appdb | k1ko [10:17] k1ko: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:17] tonsil try this just for kicks... "sudo iptables -nvL" [10:18] installing any desktop distro adds a ton of things that are nto essential. [10:18] auto lo [10:18] iface lo inet loopback [10:18] teage, hm, this is what i didn't know :D... [10:18] whats it [10:18] i am using openvpn and resolvconf, if i start my openvpn client i get an error message saying /etc/resolv.conf is not a a symlink, is there any way to get network manager to play nice with resolvconf? [10:18] ter35: man interfaces will tell you more about that file [10:18] Hi room. Can anyone here answer a noobish bash scripting question for me please? (I have tried RTFM) [10:18] hi, i have a strange problem with stting up a wlan card. i short summeray can be found here http://pastebin.org/90555 , i hope someone could gimme a tip ho to solve th [10:18] ernz: go ahead [10:18] man ????? [10:18] ernz: you'll know soon enough if we can answer or not =) [10:19] ter35: in a terminal you write "man interfaces" and you'll see the manual for that file [10:19] Slart: Thanks, can I pm you please? [10:19] ter35: it works for other commands as well.. [10:19] Slart: and other config files [10:19] =) [10:19] ernz: it's usually better if you ask the question in the channel.. you'll get better answers that way.. but you're welcome to use pm if you want [10:20] ernz: please ask in the channel [10:20] SolarisBoy: hehe.. indeed.. and source functions and whatnot.. =) [10:20] yeps [10:21] SolarisBoy: Didn't work. I'm still figuring out how to do the first option you mentioned earlier. Where do I configure my DHCP or know which static address to use? [10:21] Slart/Myrtti: I know how people get about pasting lines and lines, so here is a pastebin of the offending script: http://pastebin.ca/1794450 [10:21] Does anyone here know of a graphical IM client that supports SASL? [10:21] tonsil: i recalculated my opinion when you told me the IPaddress is the same as that in the screenshot [10:22] ernz: at a first glance.. try putting the directory name in quotations [10:22] ernz: I'd personally replace every $variable with "${variable}" [10:22] ernz: and add the hashbang if it already doesn't [10:22] tonsil: dhcp should work as static would if the ip addressing is correct,, which you say it is,, unless the linksys has some function to _NOT_ forward to DHCP clients... which i can't confirm.... [10:23] Slart/Myrtti: I shall do both. Which quotes should I use? ` or ' or "? [10:23] ernz: " [10:23] IncrediblePie, i know irssi does, but i dont know about GUI, have you checked Pigin ? [10:23] tonsil: if you have no iptables rules and port 4070 or whatever is in fact open && being forwarded thru the linksys,,, i got nothin =) [10:23] ernz: though " and ' are somewhat interchangeable, but out of habit I personally use " because they are more visible [10:24] One of them does, I saw it the other day, or at lease OpenPGP anyway/ [10:24] It's probably a problem with the spotify servers. It seems to be a common error for Ubuntu users/ [10:24] Thanks anyway, SolarisBoy. [10:24] np [10:24] is it OK, if i uninstall al the packages for KDE, to remove KDE from my system? [10:25] Ke1ha: Yeah, I'm using Irssi right now (I don't like it too much), and when I tried to set the flag to enable SASL for Pidgin it didn't seem to work. It installed, but it was still not being detected by freenode. [10:25] tonsil: some sites or web apps process headers and the client information to work,,, i guess its possible the app doesn't like browsers on ubuntu OS, it does call audio functions and such as it appears its a music site,,, [10:25] rr . yeah, none of them are really well suited for the purpose, as the nature of what they do is insecure to begin with. [10:26] kubanc: yeah, but make sure you remove the top-most package with tool of choice, then let the package manager resolve the dependencies from there [10:26] how can I find out how many open TCP connections I have [10:26] SolarisBoy, it used to work just a few days ago. I know some people who can still run it in Ubuntu. [10:27] *sigh* Think mIRC will run with Wine...? [10:27] kubanc: there may be some packages that some of they apps/software you keep that has some dependencies in common [10:27] tonsil: =@ [10:27] Davedan: use netstat [10:27] SolarisBoy: I'll read about it. thanks [10:27] kubanc: if you're not hurting for hard drive space, I personally wouldn't bother [10:28] kubanc: memory only gets used for what gets loaded which means what you need [10:28] PingFloyd, yes i saw, i am looking in the description of the program, if it is a program for KDE, that it should go away, and YES, it's bothering free space on my disk drive [10:28] Slart/Myrtti: haha: close! It worked all apart from one thing. my mkdir -p "~/Desktop/${proj}/_backups/${proj}_bkp_${filedate}"; created a "~" directory! I'm not really familiar with the ~/ shortcut. What am I doing wrong there? [10:28] Davedan: np [10:28] ernz: hmm.. ~ usually means the home folder [10:28] kubanc: I'd look and see which package, but I'm not in ubuntu right now [10:29] ernz: as in /home/ernz or whatever your username is [10:29] kubanc: probably kubuntu-desktop [10:29] ernz: $HOME/Desktop/"${proj}"/_backups/"${proj}"_bkp_ etc [10:29] Slart: Yea, that's what I thought too [10:29] does bibd9, by default configuration, open tcp and udp port 53 also to the external world? [10:30] kubanc: which is a meta package that in turn depends on kde and some other niceties. Keep in mind that it may want to remove your DM too, so you might want to make sure you keep gdm/kdm/xdm or whatever dm you're using on there [10:30] PingFloyd, i uninstalled package kubuntu-desktop with apt-get remove, and it said that it will only remove 53.2 KB [10:30] Oh, and by the way, has anyone managed to properly set up an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP card in 'buntu? I tried on my desktop but it didn't work to well at all with video. Seemed as if it was still using vesa or something (it wasn't). [10:30] Hi. I have sporadic freezes with Intel 845G Video driver. I use Ubuntu 9.10, everything worked fine until one day after a usuall package update my system periodically freezes. Any bugfix to this issue? Is it an intel driver or kernel issue? [10:30] Davedan: FYI; 'sudo netstat --tcp -pno' should do the trick [10:30] kubanc: see what kubuntu-desktop depends on [10:31] Is there any clamav channel on freenode or any other server? [10:31] kubanc: also you can try apt-get autoremove to clean out the orphans left over [10:31] there's also a deborphan app that cleans house too. [10:31] SolarisBoy: trying. thanks [10:31] np [10:32] knxville, yes, #clamav>> /join #clamav [10:32] paddy_melon, i found out.. I need to try my self some time before asking ;) [10:32] Slart/Myrtti: YEA! Rocking and rolling now guys. Thanks both for your help, now I can backup my crappy web apps in *style*! 3 Internet points to the both of you. Enjoy your day.

[11:38] 80 === litorcino is now known as litATubu [11:38] steve777, You can probably just change all references in /etc/apt/sources.list from Intrepid to Jaunty, save it, update, then do it again changing Jaunty to Karmic [11:38] :) [11:39] erUSUL: Negative, haven't seen anything about that. I suppose I...should? :) [11:39] skipping a release makes things complicated :) [11:39] nfd: once b43-fwcutter is installed do « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » [11:40] nfd: you should yes. the driver needs the firmware to work. Broadcom does not let anyone distribute the firmware. all linux user of broadcom wifi are F***ed up [11:40] I actually just updated a system from Edgy :) [11:40] typically, I use that loosly, brute force attaches are on SSH ports, like 22, you chane the port and do somthing like this: [11:40] that was, interesting [11:40] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set \ [11:40] --name SSH -j ACCEPT [11:40] nfd: send an ungry email to its support [11:40] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --rttl \ [11:40] --name SSH -j LOG --log-prefix "SSH_brute_force " [11:41] nfd: or better yet do not buy broadcom hardware ;) [11:41] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 60 \ [11:41] --hitcount 4 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP [11:41] * erUSUL finish the rant [11:42] erUSUL: Haha, angry letters are a bit of a specialty! Thanks for the help + thanks @ kelha. [11:42] erUSUL, Broadcom has open source firmware now for most chipsets, Fedora ships it [11:42] DaemonFC: that would be atheros i'm afraid [11:43] no, Broadcom [11:43] my laptop can use it === TiruRiru is now known as schmrz [11:44] DaemonFC, that's an open source driver with closed-source firmware [11:44] no it's not [11:44] Good morning! Found sound locked into a loop again listening to amarok - in the syslog I found "pulseaudio[694]: protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue" Sound device is an nVidia MCP61 HDA [11:44] DaemonFC: maybe fedora like ubuntu has the option of using the wl (broadcom_sta) driver? [11:45] DaemonFC: that's not optimal. [11:45] no, it's not closed source firmware and it's not ndiswrapper [11:45] there's open source firmware for at least the 43xx series that works fine [11:45] Can anyone help me, or am I just doomed to have to reboot once a week due to rubbish sound support? [11:46] there has been a frenzy of sound card issues this week [11:46] erUSUL, Seveas, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Announcement [11:46] "Open Broadcom firmware - The openfwwf open source Broadcom firmware is included by default. This means wireless networking will be available out of the box on some Broadcom chipsets." [11:46] ooh [11:46] thanks DaemonFC [11:47] yep [11:47] hello === john is now known as Guest64967 [11:47] I noticed my laptop's wifi light came on without me doing anything and investigated :) [11:47] so [11:48] HEY guys im thinking of buying a new pc. is ATI support for LInux still shit? [11:48] im not an expert on pc. middle user. [11:48] i want it to work out of the box [11:48] fabio, It's kind of borderline [11:48] DaemonFC: Mine comes on because network manager probes for wireless networks and some times connects to my router [11:49] :S then not good enough [11:49] fabio, You'll have to install the driver from ATI themselves unless you want the buggy one that Karmic offers [11:49] need to uninstall and reinstall it everytime the kernel is upgraded [11:50] fabio, It runs games fine, Compiz though is "slightly" jerky [11:50] * StuckMojo wallows in 64bit-ness [11:50] beats the hell out of where they were this time last year [11:50] sharing /home between 64 and 32 no less [11:50] hi [11:50] so...i installed a few things i like in the 32 root, any way i can get a list of the installed packages there without booting into it? [11:51] in 6 months, I doubt any ATI user on the RadeonHD 4000 series or lower will need the proprietary driver [11:51] I'm trying to find out if there is some kind of open source community chat software that can be installed across a public access network for people to chat [11:51] probably by Ubuntu 10.10 [11:51] does anyone know anything that might do that? [11:51] or where to find out about this kind of thing? [11:51] Every time I return the Laptop from Hibernation I have to RE-UNLOCK the keyring for nm-applet (gnome network manager) - How can I MAKE IT STOP??? === Gateway is now known as Guest55529 [11:51] fabio, I only have one old X1900GT card and It seems to load fine. ALl the NV cars Im suing are loading restricted drivers with out issue up through GTX-280 [11:52] shomon: like IRC, Jabber or some others? [11:52] yeah maybe, but for example lanchat... [11:52] more for a residential community [11:52] oops .. all the NV cards ... [11:52] shomon: you can use those for lan too [11:52] nebie here [11:52] newbie here === Guest55529 is now known as Gateway` [11:52] I've got a RadeonHD 4670, it runs acceptably, the freezes and lockups and slooooooooooooowness of the ATI driver are pretty much gone [11:53] thanks... yeah it's a thought. I was checking if there is already one concieved for deprived areas [11:53] or inner city use... [11:53] yes newbie [11:53] archboxman: Sadly I've been wrestling with sound issues on my nvidia MCP61 HDA for a bit. I have to reboot at least once a week on my work machine. Hopefully I'll be getting a new laptop soon but til then... rage.jpg [11:53] Do anyone know of an opensource program for ubuntu like Visio?! [11:53] knxville: you have to explain what Visio does [11:54] FunkyWeasel: Hold on I think I use the same chipset for sound... [11:54] Tm_T, it makes drawings over buildings, so I can illustrate computeres, AP, Routers, Switches position. [11:54] Tm_T, with nice images and so on. [11:54] gnome-dia probably [11:55] erm dia [11:55] hi, i just installed ubuntu 9.10 dual boot with WinXP SP2 (same harddrive different partition), but I can't get to grub menu, it says GRUB Loading. error : out of disk. grub rescue> how could I repair it? [11:55] archboxman: Sweet. I used to run off ALSA, but that died more than twice a week. Setting up pulseaudio helped, but the problems seem to have gotten worse again lately. Especially if I've ran any sort of flash with audio within the last few hours. [11:55] f [11:55] knxville: you might look into dia [11:56] knxville: there's actually a few [11:56] knxville: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagramming_program [11:56] hello all [11:56] PingFloyd, Thanks [11:56] knxville: you're welcome [11:56] FunkyWeasel: sorry I use a nvidia MCP51 not the mcp61 had to use oss [11:56] I was going to say, Dia is all that I know of, but there's probably others similar, I just dont know them. [11:56] Every time I return the Laptop from Hibernation I have to RE-UNLOCK the keyring for nm-applet (gnome network manager) - How can I MAKE IT STOP??? [11:56] if it's simple stuff you can use inkscape to link stuff up randomly [11:56] knxville: openoffice.org draw is another one to look at [11:56] or art of illusion? [11:57] ask : why i can't use compiz in intel x3100 at ubuntu 9.10? [11:57] or is that just 3d modelling... [11:57] knxville: especially if you're an avid user of openoffice [11:57] PingFloyd, right'o [11:57] archboxman: Ah well, fair enough. Better than my last box - a dell that would lock up if I typed in the wrong password on the gnome screen save. Now THAT thing I nearly kicked out the window. [11:57] its freezee [11:57] Hello everybody [11:58] Can anyone help me fix myscreen resolution [11:58] how? [11:58] realsifo777: I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to. What makes you think you can't? [11:58] sulumar: can you describe the issue more? [11:58] sulumar: Which graphics card model do you have? [11:59] FunkyWeasel: yes, I have the dell dimension e521 it works go with Archlinux , Ubuntu was a problem :( [11:59] my computer freeze if i activate my compiz [11:59] sulumar: what kind of resolution issue are you having? [11:59] how to fix it? [11:59] hahaha lol PingFloyd good nick lol :P [11:59] realsifo777: Well that's certainly a driver issue. Maybe you can try latest drivers using the xorg-edgers repo [11:59] thanks [11:59] archboxman: It's such a shame - home linux is great, but there's always some bloody thing on whatever work box I have. [12:00] realsifo777: Also, it might not hurt get a latest kernel too, maybe from ppa [12:00] hi all, why my nickname wont work here? [12:00] ok thanks :D [12:00] Guest64967: check with nickserv and see if it taken [12:00] Guest64967: might also be the irc client you're using and how it is configured [12:00] Sure PingFloyd : I Installed a nvidia graphic card Driver and now im stuck with a res of 800x600 in stead of 1024x768 [12:01] PingFloyd: I'll try tnx. [12:01] sulumar: which method of installation did you use? [12:01] FunkyWeasel: fun never had that problem even if I built a system I would always aim middle of the road on all computer hardware so no problems... It probably is that your using ubuntu 9.10 [12:01] sulumar: u must activate the nvidia driver [12:02] archboxman: Ibex, sadly. [12:02] the Detection Ubuntu gave me [12:02] hello, when system (client in a network) goes stand by , internet connection will be disconnected , how to solve it ? [12:02] sulumar: Which version of ubuntu? [12:02] sulumar: as in just out of the box? [12:03] and the Driver is Activated but i cant raise the res [12:03] Xubuntu 9.10 [12:04] yay [12:04] anyone know how to get a list of the packages installed on a system if you're not booted into it? i.e. you have the root drive mounted under a different install? [12:04] did you install the restricted driver? [12:04] i thought this might be it: /var/lib/apt/extended_states [12:04] but now i don't think so [12:04] FunkyWeasel: with older hardware you usually have to aim at 1 or 2 version prior to the lastest vesion of ubuntu to find a stable driver and upgrade... For new hardware you usually have to wait for the next kernel release and maybe even ubuntu release for a working part.. This is my rule of thumb when working with ubuntu because of release dates [12:04] hello [12:05] I wrote a "sleep timer" script that takes one integer (the number of seconds until DPMS is enabled) and waits that long before calling xset dpms force off :) [12:05] :D [12:05] I am looking for a software that can make some morphing on images (like modify the size of a nose, ...) [12:05] First bash script I've written in a long time [12:05] any clue? [12:05] Chiiiiiz: GIMP? [12:05] image-magic [12:05] OK, I'm back (I'm lookin' at you Slart). Does anyone know why "rm -rf /home/ernz/backups/20100212" also deletes "/home/ernz/backups/20100212.tar.gz" ? [12:06] archboxman: I'm pretty certain this is an older box. And I've stuck with 8.10, though I may have a swing at upgrading to jaunty this arvo to see if that helps [12:06] The tar.gz isn't a directory, so why is it included in the recursion!? [12:06] sulumar: are you wanting to get the restricted drivers to work? [12:06] Yeah [12:06] Chiiiiiz, http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php [12:06] sulumar: Semms you're not the first one with this problem. You might need to add a Modes line if it does not detect resolutions higher than 800x600 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/im-stuck-in-800x600-in-ubuntu-9.04-721637/ [12:06] how much size is enough for swap area?? betwn win 7 and ubuntu 9.10 [12:07] sulumar: did you check this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [12:07] thanks... I did not know Imagemagick.... I'll test it right now... [12:07] sulumar: has some helpful links for various issues as well [12:07] ernz: maybe becouse you did not put a trailing / but i'm puzzled too [12:07] Chiiiiiz, its a real powerful Image program, you'll like it. [12:07] FunkyWeasel: usually drivers will stay as long as no updates for driver cards... I usually will read to see the status of hardware in newer versions I like to wait a least 6 months to see reports of problems and look for solved threads... [12:08] erUSUL: Hrm. Lemme try that. [12:08] archboxman: I've had a look around, it seems to be 'one of those things'. You know, "lol linux audio still sucks" - highly helpful stuff. === Guest64967 is now known as asd123 === asd123 is now known as jz777 [12:08] ernz: i can not reproduce it here, just tried. and it respects it for me [12:09] hi all [12:09] hello there, [12:09] ernz: so you did something different [12:09] how much size shall we keep for swap area?? [12:09] archboxman: Ah well, time for my weekly reboot. Ironically although it was a far weaker dev environment I never had to reboot so frequently off my dreaded old xp dev box. [12:09] candy double of your RAM [12:10] archboxman: Cheers for your time old chap, have an awesome one :) [12:10] FunkyWeasel: like I said to go beyond that I might look for a cheap soundcard and see if it works in ubuntu and install a 9.99 soundcard to make problems go away [12:10] if my ram is 256 mb den 512 mb for swap area ll be enough?? [12:10] ernz: try this in /tmp/ --> mkdir foo ; touch foo/{a..z} ; touch foo.tar.gz ; rm -rf foo ; ls foo* [12:10] da_german, will 512 be enough for my 256 mb ram?? [12:11] sound cards are to cheap to keep around obselete sound cards and not replace the card... [12:11] candy ...yes definitely [12:11] ernz, its because of the -r its recursive. [12:13] I can get a cheap sound card for about 7.99 and replace the problem to keep rebooting is poor judgement will trash your power supply and your out 30-70 bucks to replace that ... [12:13] oi [12:13] no no [12:13] my file [12:13] yes [12:15] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [12:15] erUSUL, ke1ha: "rm -rf /home/ernz/backups/20100212" does not touch this tar.gz: "/home/ernz/backups/archive_20100212.tar.gz". Just because of the prefixed "archive_". How weird is that? [12:16] ernz: as i posted here. you are doing something else. maybe you are doing rm -rf /home/ernz/backups/20100212* ?? with a wildcart ? [12:17] Because you specifying the file name with just "20100212" if you add a * to it, the anything with that prefix will be gone. [12:17] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [12:18] or in that case, yes, the archive_ is a different file name prefix [12:18] erUSUL: Nah, I checked that. Here my exact script: http://pastebin.ca/1794513 [12:19] what are you wanting it to do ? [12:19] ernz: the rm has two arguments one is the tar.gz. no wonder it gets deleted [12:20] ernz: you are explicitily removing it [12:20] Hi there [12:20] erUSUL: How did I not see that?...I need to go to bed I think. [12:20] ernz: probably [12:20] That's what I was thinking as well, it's gettign del cuz your tellign it to delete it. [12:21] ernz: the longitude of the rm command line if nothing else should have ringed a bell ;) [12:21] Does anybody know where in the Applications menu, what specifies the sort order? I'm trying to erase the custom sort order so it will be sorted alphabetically automatically [12:21] I thought it "was not deleting it" and you wanted too be. [12:22] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [12:22] erUSUL, ke1ha: lol, Thanks for clearing the wood. Can see the trees now. Appreciated. 2 internet points to you both. Seeya later.

[12:29] thanx guys will try that [12:30] marek_: try playonlinux if unsure of setup with Wine... good luck :) [12:30] my firewall is disabled @ ke1ha [12:30] You need your IP address thats' assigned to your router from your ISP, then just add a virtual route on whatever port you want, say SSH port 22 ==> to 192.168.0.XX [12:30] ke1ha: setting page my firewall is disabled [12:31] Hi [12:31] Lol stupid question. Do I need to cd to the awn file to compile it? [12:31] em again.... I am looking for a GUI for ffmpeg or mencoder... gmencoder seems not to be supported for a while... any idea??? [12:31] stevecam again i am sorry for that . but it was mistake [12:31] anyways [12:31] ok SSH on 22 ,can I go with this same port for webpage setting on my router page @ ke1ha ? [12:31] how to change the screen refresh rate? [12:32] ke1ha: like webpage :22 [12:32] chiiiiiz: winff [12:32] OK... giving it a look.. thanks [12:32] rojoloco47, when whatever it is your sending inbound hits the router, if your have the udp / tcp port forward setup to a particular box, it will then route that request to the box you specify. [12:32] how to change monitor refresh rate? [12:33] I got it ,let me try this I will back to you if any problem exists thanks for this great guide @ ke1ha [12:33] if yo dont ahve a Local ( LAN nameserver / DNS ) setup, you ahve to use the local LAN IP address, as the name something.home.com wont render. [12:34] I always edit my /etc/hosts to have the proper name/ip :) [12:34] Using this command: grep -lr -e 'foo.cc' * | xargs sed -i 's/foo.cc/foo.com/g' I've been making some replacements over many many directories. However when a directory has a space in the name "sna fu" this command interprets that as 2 directories. [12:34] but for anything other then a small lan.. that can get to be a pain [12:34] how to change monitor refresh rate? [12:34] What do I need to change to make it recurse through directories with spaces in the name? [12:34] rojoloco47, if it's a web-server your addressing inside your LAN, then that's probably Port: 80 or 8080 .. no 22 [12:35] Server Name Protocol External Port Internal Port Server IP Address WEB TCP/UDP 22 22 192.168.0.3 [12:35] djuggler: You may want to use an actual script and some how tack on extra quotes around the dirctory name when passing it to the sed command. [12:35] good call [12:35] djuggler: at least thats the normal way to do it some how add some quotes [12:35] spaces in file/dir names = bad juju :) [12:35] Ok I try it with 8080 this time @ ke1ha [12:35] rojoloco47, are you tryign to render a web-page or you wanting an SSH tunnel to this box inside your LAN ? [12:35] spaces in file/dir names == previous developer [12:36] and agreed [12:36] djuggler: i recall some 'gres' command/script that did replacements in files. [12:36] how to change monitor refresh rate? [12:36] i am trying to access my localhost (webpage) ovr the internet @ ke1ha [12:36] djuggler: but i forget where i even saw it at. as an example i think in some using bash/sed/awk/regular expressions book perhaps [12:36] anyone any idea why my hard drives won't show up in nautilus and even usb plugged in hard drive won't be there automatically [12:37] Kismet: ive had issues in the past where some times when i plug in a usb hd it dosent 'auto mount' - also if its ntfs - its possible theres an error with the ntfs filesystem. so the system refuses to mount it. [12:37] cool. I used to work magic with sed grep and awk and now I barely remember how to spell them. [12:37] Tiem to dust off the references [12:37] Dr_Willis, it is an ftp drive [12:38] You know what pisses me off? When I edit a config file, and ubuntu does not use it any more. Does ubuntu not use xorg.conf anymore? [12:38] rojoloco47, do you ahve a web-server running on the local box inside your LAN ? [12:38] Dr_Willis, to be clear internal one hard drive 2 partition both ftp [12:38] usb one ftp and other ntfs [12:38] i can mount both manually [12:38] Kismet: a ftp drive? huh? how are you plugging that in? :) Or do you mwan you are using the gnome 'connect to server...' feature? [12:38] Dr_Willis, i meant fat sorry [12:39] Kismet: :) ok that makes more sence then. Ive had similer issues all through beta. Even now i have it where thumbdrives automount for a while.. then stop.. if i log out/back in - they start automounting again. [12:39] fat32 [12:39] yes I have configured LAMP server on my ubuntu machine ,for testing purpose I have install joomla (web software) on it (localhost) now I want to access it over internet [12:39] @ ke1ha [12:39] Dr_Willis, the thing is they don't mount at all [12:40] Kismet: but ive only had those issues on 1 of my 3 machines.. Im not sure whats going on with it. but if i let it run for a while (like a day) and plug in flash drives. they never automount. [12:40] usually i could see the internal drives... but scince i did something.. can't remember what.. it won't work [12:40] how to change monitor refresh rate? [12:40] for an internal drive. You may as well add a proper fstab file entry. [12:40] rojoloco47, then if you added the port forwaed correctly on your router, point it at your router's IP address with an http://IP-ADDRESS [12:40] Dr_Willis, the thing is i am on a laptop IMB where i can change the internal drive with an cd rom drive [12:41] Ciao [12:41] !list [12:41] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:41] Dr_Willis, don't think i should put it in fstab [12:41] Kismet: cdrom would use /dev/cdrom hd would use /dev/sd?? or whatever by UUID - so it shouldent matter. [12:42] Kismet: you could use the 'noauto' option where it dosent try to mount it at boot time. but you could just do 'sudo mount whatever' and have it mounted [12:42] Dr_Willis, even if i don't have it lugged in all the time... [12:43] yes I have account with hosting "hostmonster.com" I have cPanel, in that cpanel I have give my internet Ip address to a subdomain of mine i.e http://secure.sajidsaif.com , But this time when I am trying to open this domain its taking too much time in loading @ ke1ha [12:43] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg [12:43] Dr_Willis, not lugged i meant plugged [12:43] Kismet: yes. thats wht noauto is all about. use the 'user, or 'users' option and then a user could mount the device even [12:43] hi, does anyone know how i can obtain a list of security updates for a ubuntu system as an unprivileged user (ie. unable to run apt-get update)? [12:44] rojoloco47, that's a different deal all together, are you trying to render you hosting server web-page, or the web pages your created at home ? [12:44] hmm.. Dr_Willis so i should write it in fstab wit noauto [12:44] how can i edit grub menu list in ubuntu 9.10, because it won't boot my windows XP? [12:44] hey guys I have a prob [12:44] everytime I reboot my router (modem) it resets my DMZ host IP address too , [12:44] hey im new to ubuntu, how do i add the wireless connection to the panel [12:44] after setting up windows I lost my Ubuntu [12:45] Dr_Willis, but still the problem with my usb hard drives.. which won't be recognized atomaticelly [12:45] I can't choose it to boot [12:45] I want to change the domain name from http://localhost to http://secure.sajidsaif.com [12:45] what's the orders that I should make through the live CD [12:45] ? [12:46] rojoloco47, send me a PM this is way off topic for this channel [12:46] for what i have tried 2 things 1. Dyndns.com 2nd. My cpanel @ ke1ha [12:46] I have a Shoutcast server, but I have a program through which to connect to the server and play music for people. I installed Idjc but he stops and hears the sound is bad. Does anyone know a similar program? [12:46] hi [12:46] hi [12:46] Kismet: somthing similer to the existing lines. if you want to use uuid. otherwise somthing like /dev/devicename /media/mount FILESYSTEM defaults,noauto 1 1 [12:46] how to change monitor refresh rate? [12:47] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg Hehe. awesome. [12:47] hey , when i want to minize a window its going hide and i cant maximize it ... for example i want to hide chat window , when i click the minimize button its hide , and in the bottom panel nothing to display it ... :( how can i fix it ? [12:47] thank you Dr_Willis.... [12:47] Soul are you still around? [12:47] just wanted to tell you. I installed the "nouveau" driver and the problems are fixed [12:47] Dr_Willis, but you don't have a solution for the usb drive which won't be mounted automaticaly [12:48] Kismet: ive never figured out why its doing it. Had issues since beta.. others seem to have similer issues. Id almost wonder if its not some gnome service crashing. [12:49] Dr_Willis, hmm... maybe i have to live with it and mount it like old shool [12:51] Hi. I sense an invalid shutdown on my machine. It's an hp dv3-2270ev. In fact, I don't get a verbose shutdown (even though verbose is on), I don't see "Desactivating swap", and my usb devices remain lit. How can I know what the problem is? PS: I'm an intermediate user. [12:51] Kismet: thats what i end up doing. but Then again. ive not noticed it doing it lately.... so im not sure if its being worked on.. or if somthing ive done fixed it [12:51] I'm building a .deb package and I was wondering if anyone had recommend utility to assist with creating dependencies for set of Perl scripts to be added to the Control file? [12:52] Dr_Willis, thanks.. for your support... [12:52] has anyone tried something like this: ssh user@host1 "ssh user@host2" [12:52] Hello, everyone. I've just installed NDISwrapper for Ubuntu 9.10. Don't know if it works yet. Don't know how to check, really. Do I need to configure WEP and WPA before I can find out? If so, how do I do this, exactly? [12:52] Dr_Willis, at least some clarification for me [12:52] ы [12:52] pirx: what do you expect that to do? [12:53] ыы [12:53] да?

In fact, I don't get a verbose shutdown (even though verbose is on), I don't see "Desactivating swap", and my usb devices remain lit. How can I know what the problem is? PS: I'm an intermediate user, and sorry for re-asking. [12:56] hi. i am about to upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04. [12:56] in the process, do i lose my files in /var/lib/mysql and /var/www/? [12:56] pirx: you could try with -L (see man ssh for more info) [12:56] mengu: probably not.. but you should do backups anyway.. [12:57] Slart my current refresh rate is 60hz but i read in ubuntupocket guide that it shold be 75 for lcd [12:58] thats why i want to manualy want to change it [12:58] abhijit, You shouldn't, refresh rate doesn't really matter on an LCD like it does on CRT [12:58] abhijit: the ubuntu pocket guide doesn't know what refresh rate you should be running at.. it's limited by the graphics card and your monitor [12:58] jsut leave it at 60 [12:58] ok. thnx daemonfc and slart [12:59] Hey all. I need to mail someone a USB stick with a live system that contains a confidential filesystem image. What's my best encryption option for being able to pipe said filesystem image to the harddisk of the recipient? [12:59] thnx DaemonFC & Slart [12:59] by [13:00] yep [13:00] abhijit: you're welcome [13:01] oKtosiTe: I'm no expert at this but I would start looking at truecrypt for starters [13:01] !truecrypt | oKtosiTe [13:01] oKtosiTe: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [13:03] ubottu: I'll have a look. My intention is to write a script that does this automatically upon clicking a desktop icon, ideally it will only give a brief explanation (in a terminal) and prompts for a password. The main limitation is that the USB stick will not be able to hold an unencrypted version of said image, so I need to be able to pipe the output directly. Thanks. [13:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:03] Slart, even [13:03] excuse me [13:03] Thumbnails for video files are not showing up in Nautilus - any ideas? [13:03] deos anybody know why does the apt-get hangs saying Processing triggers for man-db ? [13:04] oKtosiTe: so basically you want a script that does file -> unencrypt -> dd to a hard drive partition ? and perhaps ask for a password somewhere along the line [13:06] hi there i am using Ubuntu 9.04, and i just have done some updates, and some users i have recently added just can't login anymore on the gdm login window someone have any clue? [13:07] i can't find any info and the var/gdm [13:07] Slart, even more: file | unencrypt | ungzip > /dev/xyz [13:07] eurisko: what happens when they do try to login? [13:07] nothing it just returns to the username field [13:07] oKtosiTe: hmm.. well.. this is linux.. there probably is a command line tool that does that.. I've never really looked into it though.. [13:08] eurisko: the question is.. is it logging in, then X crashing.. or is it instantly just saying login failed or somting [13:08] Ok, we're back, got the whole Home Web-Server thing sorted out for rojoloco47 :-) [13:08] eurisko: you could see if they could login to a different window manager/desktop such as icewm as a 'test' [13:08] Hey all [13:08] Slart, but yes. Scripting shouldn't be an issue. I've written several interactive bash scripts before, but have little experience with encryption beyond having run a fully encrypted Debian laptop for a while. [13:09] oKtosiTe: ccrypt looks promising.. [13:09] !info ccrypt | oKtosiTe [13:09] oKtosiTe: ccrypt (source: ccrypt): secure encryption and decryption of files and streams. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-11 (karmic), package size 69 kB, installed size 252 kB [13:09] Dr_Willis, it doesn't say login failed or anything, it just returns to the username field. i ve tried also a kde session but the same beahavior ocurred. i've tried to do the login on tty1 and it worked. is there any file with logs from gdm that registers failed login attempts? [13:09] http://bit.ly/ca7YQ9 [13:10] that's just wrong [13:10] yes ke1ha you are great teacher Sir [13:10] Slart, thanks, diving into it in 3... 2... 1... [13:10] eurisko: perhaps in /var/log an interesting test would be to use KDM instead of GDM and see if it fails/works there [13:10] hi! when i answer with evolution, the auto quote gets to be "blabla wrote:" - which is the language of my karmic installation. how would i localize that? i prefer english language, but those i reply to don't [13:11] hum ok i'll try with the kdm login . [13:11] * DaemonFC hates Evolution [13:11] * DaemonFC uses Thunderbird [13:11] there's also xdm and slim as well [13:12] Is there a way to permanently block a package from updating in synaptic/apt-get? Perhaps a blacklist? [13:12] Then theres a few other *dm alternatives besides those :) but thats getting extreme [13:12] !pin | ascheel [13:12] ascheel: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [13:12] slim is kind of nice if you want something ultra-light, but when I used it, it seemed to pause a long time due to a bug [13:12] that was a long time ago though, and on a different distro [13:12] Dr_Willis: Thanks. :) Looking into it now [13:13] hello [13:13] i have a incorrect shutdown. USB devices remain on after shutdown. How can I fix this problem? [13:13] I did like its easier to follow configuration files though [13:13] Does anyone want the headache of walking me through wireless network configuration in Ubuntu 9.10? [13:14] Common, it'll be fun. [13:14] Dr_Willis: That doesn't really seem to apply to me. In my case, I use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver. Any time I upgrade gnome-screensaver, it disables the changes I've made so xscreensaver will run. [13:14] * eurisko brb [13:14] ascheel: just remove gnome-screensaver - i did that in the past.. [13:15] Dr_Willis: do you use gnome? I've read that it also forces a removal of gnome-desktop [13:15] ascheel: if you pin gnome-screensaver to some older version then it wont upgrade it.. so im not sure what you are doing [13:15] sorry ubuntu-desktop [13:15] ascheel: thats just a meta-package. [13:15] Dr_Willis: ah, I see your logic now. [13:15] ascheel: so its not a big big deal really [13:15] ascheel: you're wanting to use gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver? [13:15] Slart, thanks for your help. Looks like ccrypt is exactly what I needed. Spot on! [13:15] Can anyone at least direct me to a resource for explaining wireless network configuration in Ubuntu that doesn't assume I already know how to do what I'm trying to do? [13:15] ascheel: i Have seen sokme forum threads on xdcreensaver vs gnome-screensaver. [13:16] oKtosiTe: nice.. hope it works out for you [13:16] lol xscreensaver is already working just fine. [13:16] ascheel: and i will hbe the first to admit - Gnomescreensaver stuff needs serious work. :) [13:16] Dr_Willis: I hate not being able to configure my screensavers. Hate it. [13:16] I use powersaving myself [13:16] ascheel: and the gnome devs seem to think configring your screen saver is too 'hard' for users. :) [13:16] :) [13:16] PingFloyd: wanting to use xscreensaver (and it's already running great right now) [13:16] dpms off [13:16] Yeah, screensavers are so much harder to deal with than networking configuration. : ) [13:17] The Answer to all your questions is simply: 42 !! [13:17] how can I install gdm themes for xubuntu ? guides on the net talk about using some sort of gui but I don't seem to have that.... even though i do use gdm [13:17] Dr_Willis: aye and it's been argued time and time again with no change of heart [13:17] ascheel: check out the gnome threads on the topic some time. its amazing silly [13:17] Dr_Willis: I have and I agree. [13:17] hello [13:17] I installed my entier Ubuntu Server 9.10 install to /dev/sda3. Now I've created /dev/md0p1 (yes, that is software RAID). I've copied everything to that partition. Now I need to edit Grub2 to boot from a different partition. How? :). Which file do I need to edit in what way to make Grub2 boot from a different partition? [13:17] how do you set the directory in terminal wasnt it cd [13:17] da_german: I'm not looking for the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. I'm more high-minded than that: trying to set up wireless networks. [13:17] ascheel: I Imagine what will happen sometime. will be the Ubuntu devs will just start ignoreing the gnome devs and put the features in anyway. [13:18] DS: with cd you change into a directory [13:18] DS: cd /etc will bring you into the directory etc [13:18] iceroot: yes that it is do you type cd /home..etc [13:18] Dr_Willis: I've been hoping so. IMO just give it xscreensaver but modify the password screen so it's 'gnome'ie [13:18] DS: you can use ~/ instead of /home/username [13:19] I dont even bother with screensavers much any more. Just bank and be done. [13:19] iceroot: you can just type 'cd' to go to your home. No arguments [13:19] a Nice RSS reader/news/weather screensaver would be handy [13:19] hey iceroot [13:19] ascheel: nice to know [13:19] Dr_Willis: probably not very difficult, either. === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 === lukjad007 is now known as lukjad86 [13:19] ascheel: yea - i got one for windows thats a fishtank. :) drives the wife crazy.. she thinks water is running in the pc room [13:19] iceroot: i want to access a file on desktop using terminal how do i do this [13:19] Dr_Willis: It looks as though gnome-screensaver is no longer a depencency for ubuntu-desktop [13:20] hahahaha Dr_Willis. That's great. [13:20] ascheel: :) that will make the gnome devs stand up and pay attention! :P not... [13:21] Why does about:plugins not work anymore in epiphany? [13:21] I am sure i have seen it since the switch to webkit [13:21] yo [13:22] Myrtti: open a tunnel you mean using two ssh sessions somehow where one is used for forwarding a tunnel? [13:22] pirx: yes. [13:22] lol [13:22] Myrtti: but i want it in one command, otherwise i can just as well manually ssh from host1 to host2:) [13:23] indeed [13:23] pirx: what is it you're trying to do? [13:23] DS: access with what? === NinjaTori is now known as AaronesS [13:24] iceroot: nvm i got it lol [13:24] yeah that's a good question :-) what's trying to access what :-) [13:24] we are not all prix @ ascheel [13:24] oh pirex [13:24] sorry [13:24] ascheel: i want to ssh to host1 and automatically be ssh'd further to host2 [13:25] pirx: And you're 100% absolutely positive it can't be achieved with a single tunnel? [13:25] Oh, you don't want to tunnel, you just want a regular ssh session [13:25] set up a ip forward in sshd and use id_rsa keys for auth. [13:25] pirx: use portforwarding (iptables on host 1) so you can use ssh -p 122 user@host1 and you will get to host2 [13:25] How to setup a static ip address in ubuntu ? [13:25] pirx: and with ssh user@host1 you will get into host1 [13:26] ardian: with what? gui? ifconfig? /etc/network/interfaces? [13:26] ardian, use the network-manager and set up a new connection with the IP you want [13:26] iceroot: not allowed by firewall [13:26] no gui [13:26] thanks iceroot [13:26] that's probably a good thing actually prix [13:27] pirx: here's a way to do it. On the first host you connect to, set up a script that just 'ssh host2.address' [13:27] pirx: then run a command like this: ssh host1.address /path/to/script/to/connect/to/host2 [13:27] Yeah, use rsa keys and "ssh -l sombade@host2" [13:27] Okay, here's an easy one. Surely, someone wants to tell me what to do here. Got my wireless working. Can't connect due to permissions restrictions. the needed interface buttons are grayed out. How do I fix this? [13:28] ke1ha: get rid of that -l [13:28] hi there, does anyone know a linux program i could use to keep track of urls when i copy clips from webpages during research? onenote has a feature which does just that but i can't find the linux equivalent [13:28] ke1ha: that -l is used when you don't use @ [13:28] so either ssh -l sombade host2 or ssh sombade@host2 [13:28] rr .. but you wont be able to auto connect if port forward on host1 is not allowed [13:29] I need a simple FTP server. [13:29] pirx: have a look at netcat and inetd or xinetd [13:29] pussy [13:29] diddy: use openssh [13:29] pirx: working like iptables for that [13:29] pussy ftp [13:29] !language SunRaven [13:29] is good [13:29] what [13:29] !language | SunRaven [13:29] SunRaven: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === horndog_ is now known as horndog [13:30] I will not!

But fdisk -l shows that that's not the case, and the problem is that ~/torrents is actually a symlink that points to a big folder on another filesystem (smbfs). how do I fix the false readings? [13:43] DexterLB: type this: df -h [13:43] and /home is 100% used [13:43] ascheel: I'll shutdown now, and see what happens... [13:44] as reported by df -h [13:44] DexterLB: then it's 100% used. it doesn't lie. [13:44] ive neer notived mount samba shares messing with df -h [13:44] LVM and add another disk [13:44] I'm trying to use gconftool to auto configure Ubuntu, but I cant quite find the things I want. Is there a way to see what values change via gconf-editor or something? [13:44] no it's not a share, it's a SYMLINK [13:45] it points to a share [13:45] sorry for caps [13:45] scanf("%f",&y); if for float y, what is for double y? [13:45] !caps|DexterLB [13:45] DexterLB, please see my private message [13:45] du|sort also says that ~/torrents is the biggest [13:45] ouyes: check your favourite programming book.. there are lots of switches for scanf [13:46] DexterLB: then cd to ~/torrents and type this: du -sh [13:46] ouyes: here's one http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/c/io/scanf [13:46] Slart, i just want to how what is for double [13:46] some tools have a 'dont follow links' option. [13:46] %r? google "scanf placeholders [13:46] " [13:46] ascheel: it says it's 11Gb [13:46] DexterLB: do you disagree with that? [13:47] no [13:47] it's correct [13:47] and the entire HDD is 20Gb [13:47] to scanf a double, you need to use %f with a width specifier [13:47] sladen, thanks you give me not the answer but a good link [13:47] DexterLB: I guess I'm confused. What's the problem? [13:48] how do i install a file? [13:48] ouyes: you're welcome.. google is your friend (for now at least) =) [13:48] suso what?

[14:56] dr_willis: here it is http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ [14:56] !samba | lucas71 [14:56] lucas71: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [14:56] PingFloyd: to get access that mounted ext4 partition that i can use it like regular user [14:56] * Guest_53601 BluesKaj you made it part [14:57] I have installed samba and I have two computers with Ubuntu [14:57] PingFloyd: She doesnt understand anything [14:57] hola [14:57] Guest_53601, not as anon as he thought ..lives outside of Chicago [14:57] zilkomaa: then chown is the proper tool for that. Keep in mind that if you want multiple users to have access to it, then you'll probably want to setup a group appropriately and add the appropriate users to that group [14:57] zilkomaa: chmod as well [14:57] lucas71, then all you need to do is share a directory / folder on one of them [14:58] setfacl is also a good solution to that problem. [14:58] in the 'acl' package [14:59] PingFloyd: ok but what is the right command if i mounted 50g ext4 partition in /home/zilkomaa/storage? Meaning what should i wrote in terminal sudo chown zilkomaa:zilkomaa /home/zilkomaa/storage [14:59] PingFloyd: Is that about right? [15:00] zilkomaa: is it just for her access? [15:00] over 1350 users!! real people or just a mix & bots ? [15:00] zilkomaa: yes [15:00] * Guest_53601 i wonder [15:00] PingFloyd: yes [15:00] ke1ha, unfortunately I can't see my computers each other in network... I have shared one folder but I cant see it on another comp... [15:00] zilkomaa: do you want that ownership for everything at that directory level and lower? [15:01] Does gparted in 8.04 support GPT partitions? [15:01] PingFloyd: yea [15:02] helooo [15:02] zilkomaa: you've got the right command, just put a -R after chown to make it recursive [15:02] lucas71, how did you create the shared folders? [15:02] zilkomaa: recommend referring to the manpage also [15:03] zilkomaa: good idea to always exercise some caution when using chown -R [15:03] hola [15:03] ke1ha, right click and share [15:03] hi there, i an trying to find out a problem i am having with some accounts i am trying to use on my ubuntu 9.04 . if i add a account with 2 specific names i can't login with gdm or kdm [15:04] zilkomaa: can also be done through nautilus iirc [15:04] How to remove windows partion virus through ubuntu [15:04] eurisko: what are the names? [15:04] PingFloyd: hehe rly? [15:04] aed and poo [15:04] but for example i tried ttt and it worked [15:04] eurisko: that's really odd, actually. I've no idea. [15:04] zilkomaa: I believe so, I usually do it through the command line, but I could swear that you can go into properties of the directory and change ownerships recursively [15:05] is umask per user or per directory?

[15:05] cinex: per shell session, iirc. [15:05] zilkomaa: thought I recall seeing it somewhere in there [15:05] kazmi: you want to /join ##windows [15:05] kazmi: delete the virus file. then when in windows you need to delete the viruses startup entrys in the registry (otherwise you will get error messages when you start it ) [15:06] lfaraone: I have a media directory and I want it to save files with a certain permissions so that the group can access it. do I need umask or will it just copy the parent directory? (/home/Media) [15:07] in ubuntu is better to add the users using the graphical utility or using adduser comand line utility? [15:07] hello [15:07] eurisko: whichever you're comfortable with [15:07] lucas71, this may be better for you to follow: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/SAMBA_Filesharing [15:07] which is better between java and openjdk? [15:07] cinex: well, you can chmod the files afterwards.

[15:08] PingFloyd: Was such a fight yesterday with that thing in my mothers computer huhu .. [15:08] eurisko: that probably isn't the cause of your problem. [15:08] oos [15:08] lfaraone: I dont want the users to have access to that command... and I dont want to have to constantly eddit those files. If I set the umask in rc.local or the systemwide profile files it would change the umask for all files? [15:08] ericm: what is the error when you try to use them [15:09] besides /etc/passwd is there any file where ubuntu can keep user info? [15:09] eurisko: did u set a login shell and a home directory? [15:09] which is better between java and openjdk? [15:09] ughh, sorry [15:09] yeah [15:09] eurisko: what is the error when you try to use them [15:09] no error appears [15:09] cinex: umask only affects new files, but yes. [15:09] i need help [15:09] eurisko: what happens, does it not let you login ? [15:09] gdm just goes back to username [15:09] zilkomaa: what do you mean? Was she being hard headed? [15:09] but in tty i cna login [15:09] *can [15:09] i need help... [15:09] olaa tonto [15:09] eurisko: okay, that would be useful to know. [15:09] kdm does the same [15:09] eurisko: cat ~/username/.xesessionerrors [15:09] eurisko: ok - so thats going to be probably a lack of write permissions to the home dir [15:09] !helpe | ddavids [15:10] robertzaccour: the sun java, the openjdk is unmaintained [15:10] !helpme | ddavids [15:10] ddavids: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[15:11] ericm: are there any warnings/errors when you login from teh tty ? [15:11] zilkomaa: the thing to remember, is the ownerships are relative to the system. i.e. user ids may be mapped different to usernames on a different system [15:11] ola javi [15:11] chumi: english only please [15:12] ke1ha, thanks, I can see another comp from my own but there is ask for password...

[15:13] lucas71, the pwd should be the pwd you set when you created the samba user, not your username password. [15:13] cinex, i am reading it tells me something about applets [15:13] illo [15:13] eurisko: google excatly what it says [15:14] lucas71, unless of course you made the samba user your username and pwd. [15:14] ke1ha, I did't create any passwords :((( [15:14] I cannot seem to access a printer over the internet. I think I have it setup correctly and the router is forwarding port 631 to the server.

[15:15] metricpiano: please ask your questions to the channel [15:15] lucas71, thats' the problem then, you need to add a Samba user and pwd.

[16:14] chiiiiiz: watch the logfiles and outputs of the program, it might help you learn how to get around the commandline problem [16:14] but even kdm half a hour ago did the same [16:14] alienkid10 fat32 [16:14] assembler: it's not a menu application [16:14] assembler: it's a scripting language [16:14] eurisko, you must choose which desktop manager you want at login if you run both kde and gnome ...i'm sure you're aware of that , right ?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:15] chiiiiiz: I guess it will havea log file or an output window. or just run it from a terminal and watch the ouput [16:15] ikonia, so do i have to write the code and compile it in the terminal like gcc ? [16:15] OerHeks: or do I only need casper-RW [16:15] OK... I will do my homework, and I 'll come back here in a few days if I have more questions...

[16:20] How can I get rid of the evolution-alarm-notify, it came with the fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 [16:20] jumar: ok. I'm using wicd and it's working great. I've had trouble with network manager and wpa2, that is why I switched, in the past. So I guess it may be relevant. Not sure if it is a solution to your problem [16:21] babo1: instead of setting DISPLAY manually, try logging in with the -X switch to ssh. === toto is now known as Guest27922 [16:21] it says firefox-3 is installed but launching firefox launches 1.9 [16:21] t35t0r: edit the menu and see if the command is wrong [16:21] kaddi: thanks i just needed a real testemonial, was not sure about it on the forums, i've been fighting nm-applet since day one on my laptop [16:21] t35t0r: there is no firefox 1.9 [16:21] t35t0r: uninstall the old firefox [16:22] t35t0r: it launches firefox 3.0.17 [16:22] thanks, installing wicd [16:22] hey people - simple question... how do i stop the mysql server from starting up when the system boots?

[17:07] armence: you can google this : alsa ubuntu [17:07] when I installed ubuntu I got grub legacy instead of grub 2 [17:08] WeirdAAR, most likeley, yes. whenever a packet gets installed as dependency and not explicitly it is subject to autoremoval, once it is not directly needed anymore. but maybe you started using something of it - after all you could reinstall it easily anyways [17:08] anyone know why this will happen [17:09] * rothsdad so tired, use gphone to input these words [17:09] is there a command that shows what files are read/writing to hard drive in real time? [17:09] nibbler, Yeah that makes sense. I just a saw a package like "libqt4-sql-mysql" and I got not sure whether to do it or not [17:10] WeirdAAR, thats why i recommended to make a local copy+paste, so that if you miss something you have less trouble finding out the package it belongs to or whatever [17:10] nibbler, Could I be that I recently made a major update and this is the outdated packages? [17:11] WeirdAAR, not outdated in a way taht there is newer versions of this on your system now, but outdated like in "not needed anymore" [17:11] cze [17:11] WeirdAAR, maybe foosoft-1.0-22 needed libbar as dependecy, but with foosoft-1.0-24 this dependency is gone.

[17:14] rothsdad: ssh [17:14] rothsdad, with a wiimote? [17:14] rothsdad, aptitude install openssh-server [17:14] like use another linux or phone === nikolam__ is now known as nikolam [17:14] seanbrystone: mortadelo http://lwn.net/Articles/271796/ [17:14] controling the computer with an ipod/iphone is a serisou chore [17:15] erUSUL, They are based on Gnome (g++) right? [17:15] bazhang, erUSUL : thank you! [17:15] depends of what oyu want to controll.... [17:15] WeirdAAR: rhymbox is C + gnome; banshee is mono [17:15] the terminal [17:16] There are a couple of options to control an ubuntu machine with an iPhone [17:16] erUSUL, Ok. I will try Banshee then. Thanks [17:16] QuaintRcky: its the keyboard, its crap [17:16] ssh will work - enable ssh server from the ubuntu software center, then get an ssh client [17:16] when I try to open Synaptic again. It's said: [17:16] This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. === ultraz is now known as dc0m [17:17] or, if you want graphical control, turn on the remote desktop in the settings, then get a vnc client for the iphone === orion_ is now known as Guest13098 [17:17] vng, are you using another instance of apt? [17:17] QuaintRcky: does ssh support image? [17:17] no - but vnc does [17:17] QuaintRcky, sure it does, via -X === dc0m is now known as chetnick [17:17] QuaintRcky: thx [17:17] it will be pretty painful though - the small iphone screen is less than ideal [17:17] Well, thats merely xforwarding. [17:17] yep :) [17:18] bazhang: I just do the previous command pkill synaptic [17:18] I was answering about the iphone - sure ssh can do X, but not on the iPhone [17:18] vnc is probably going to be the best option there [17:18] Thats assuming his client has an Xserver [17:18] then how to control iphone using ubuntu? [17:18] Well, x11vnc sounds like the best. [17:18] My vsftpd server won't let me connect through my IP. I can acces it though localhost(127.0.0.1) but not the internet IP. My ports are forwarded.. [17:18] Since he no doubt wants to use his active desktop.

[17:20] is there an irc channel for parted magic? the beta 4.9 available as cd only and I need usb [17:20] vng, that is not the way to close it, did you have more than one instance running? open a terminal and type top [17:21] * rothsdad bye everybody [17:21] mikeconcepts, you write the iso to usb [17:21] I don't see another instance running [17:21] vng, pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update [17:22] !paste | vng [17:22] vng: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

If i make chart it is so, but when i save and open again then negative bars are gone and every bar starts from biggest negative numbet [17:26] vng, next time try not to run more than one instance of apt, xkill'ing synaptic is not the ideal way of closing it [17:27] bazhang: so I guess I will keep trying with ubuntu usb creator if I understand you right [17:27] ok i just tried to install apache mono and the bastard hung during configuration in synaptic [17:27] what do i do? [17:27] conky appearing under wallpaper (using Compiz background vs Gnome/Nautilus background), when I switch to 3d Cube I can see Conky running under wallpaper -- any ideas? [17:27] bazhang: But synaptic hang on. It does not respond me [17:27] mikeconcepts, I would use unetbootin personally as have had much more success with that, also check the md5 of the iso before doing it [17:28] Hi im from poland :) [17:28] bazhang, any idea? seems you're discussing a synaptic issue right now...

[17:31] Sorry Bazhang. Thanks [17:32] you could try adding audio to the user (audio is the name of the group) [17:32] anyway.. does anyone knows how to configure dnsmasq so it works as a DHCP proxy, working with FOG (PXE boot with DRBL) [17:32] I did not manage to get the new ati driver (or even now the 9.2) to work with a 4650.

[17:33] he has sound as root only [17:33] I have two network cards in my my system. One wireless and the the other wired. The wireless one has the Internet connection, and the wired one is for local shares. How can I get my applications to point to the eth1(wireless) for internet use and not eth0 [17:33] abstrakt, not sure, but the one time you dont want to interrupt is when it is configuring [17:33] anybody got an opinion on Abiword vs. open office? [17:33] bazhang, wonderful :( [17:33] sudo adduser audio [17:33] this sucks... i should have just left it alone and only installed apache [17:33] [17:33] bazhang, any idea how to get php5-pdo on 9.10 ? [17:34] QuaintRcky: that will wipe all his other groups? [17:34] bazhang, googling turns up that PDO doesn't really exist, since basically 6.x and doesn't seem to be different on 9.10 [17:34] 'lo all! Quick question. [17:34] abstrakt, let me do a web search on the forums [17:34] nope - it will just add that group [17:34] hope it works [17:34] Is dpkg --get-selections available somewhere for karmic? I'd like to revert from lucid/karmic to pure karmic? [17:34] I'm lookin' at the GetDeb repository - if I install it, will software from that repository appear in the software center, or will I have to go through the package manager? [17:34] (erm, synaptic that is) [17:35] Or if someone can post a dpkg --get-selections for a _pure_ karmic [17:35] bazhang, also are there any "standard" extras repositories? like i used to use dag/wiers back in the day... it's been years since i've run *nix as my desktop though, just getting back into the game [17:35] QuaintRcky: thanks [17:35] I'm trying to get my girlfriend set up with Songbird, but if there's a way to get all the software she needs really in the software center, I'd like that :) [17:35] bazhang, so i dunno what the officially or semi-officially recommended repos are, if there are any. i mean aside from universe/multiverse if those aren't enabled [17:35] abstrakt, backports and PPA ( /msg ubottu PPA) [17:35] but synaptic is hung so I can't very well enable them [17:36] bazhang, so basically I should make my own package... [17:36] :> [17:36] Guess I'll just try this all myself. [17:36] abstrakt, still searching, will take more than a minute [17:36] aight [17:37] GoldChaos, songbird has its own website with a deb to download [17:37] Hi, id like to forward a couple of ports from my host A to host B, im currently using ssh but since line is not 100% reliable on the other side sometimes i have the port open but im not able to connect, is there any workaround to this? or any simple solution, i mean simpler than using tinc or openvpn === rusty is now known as Guest70933 [17:37] bazhang: There's no deb on their site. [17:38] Just a precompiled directory. It's very sloppy. [17:38] man this is seriously lame... i'm sorry but i have to say i'm highly disappointed in Ubuntu right now... i mean I haven't even enabled any like, non-free or other repos except for my nVidia driver... sucks that they can't even get the base packages to install right... or rather, configure right [17:38] and the whole reason i wanted to come to ubuntu anyway was for PHP web dev and I absolutely need php5-pdo for the projects i work with [17:38] GoldChaos, there is also a daily build ppa https://launchpad.net/~songbird-daily/+archive/ppa for songbird [17:39] I don't want daily builds - is there one for stable builds only? [17:39] abstrakt: Are you running an alpha build? [17:39] Because I'm not getting misconfigured packages... [17:39] GoldChaos, if you want stable get the one from their site i'd guess [17:39] zamanian, don't think so... [17:39] zamanian, i downloaded 9.10 [17:40] Is dpkg --get-selections available somewhere for karmic? I'd like to revert from lucid/karmic to pure karmic? Or can someone post on pastebin the output of dpkg --get-selections ? thanks [17:40] But there isn't one from their site, that's the problem :P [17:40] zamanian, from the main download link... why would they put an alpha build as the main download link? [17:40] hi there channel :) [17:40] i've created a user oracle on my computer but it won't let me log in. it gives me an authentication error ... [17:40] hey does anyone know how to turn off the default login sounds on ubuntu 9.1? and yea i know it's not pref>sound [17:40] hi [17:40] abstrakt: They wouldn't, I was just wondering if you downloaded an alpha build. Some people do that. :) [17:40] hi [17:41] zamanian, nope, definitely not interested in alpha or beta right now, i just need a dev server [17:42] hi [17:42] abstrakt: Do you know at what speed you burned the CD? From my experience, sometimes the install is botched by burning the CD at a speed too high.

[17:43] or how do you change the login sound?? [17:43] zamanian, it's hung right there ^ [17:43] and has been for like over 15 minutes now [17:43] zamanian, i'd like to just CTRL-c but bazhang says it's a bad idea... and i agree that it probably is [17:43] GoldChaos, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird the are two options for DEB files there [17:44] abstrakt: Meh. I've done it a lot of times and apt is pretty good at fixing things in my experience [17:44] abstrakt: But maybe I've not tried to install very dependent programs. [17:45] k, well ctrl-c it is then [17:45] Hi.

[17:59] erUSUL: right..but what permissions do i need to use :/ [17:59] hello , what does executable mean ? here in line3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution [17:59] shreymech, cool - you "might" want to post a bug about that program - if you feel generous [17:59] ZykoticK9, No protocol specified [17:59] (xchat:22015): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [17:59] @mantis: msg me [17:59] zoink: actually chown (change the owner) them to your user [17:59] babo1, are you in X? [17:59] ZykoticK9, yes [18:00] md5sum is pretty reliable yeah? [18:00] babo1, are you signed in as root, or trying to use sudo?

Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [18:00] ZykoticK9, hey can u help me in solving one more problem..?? whenever i boot or shutdown my system i see a line while booting.. "pidfile not found. is jackd running" ... what is that,,, and there it shows a red * in front of that [18:00] ZykoticK9, i'm signed into terminal as root [18:00] babo1, that's the problem! [18:01] shreymech, jack is an audio sub-system of some sort - i've never used it sorry [18:01] ZykoticK9, still doesn't work when i sign out of root [18:01] hey, how might i go about changing the default ubuntu setting of logging in with sound on to logging in with sound off? i mean, no matter what I've set my sound to when I log out, it still turns the volume up when I log in... [18:01] ZykoticK9, what is a pidfile ...?? [18:01] babo1, are you logged into X as root? [18:01] ZykoticK9, nope [18:01] erUSUL: i feel dumb, thanks [18:02] zoink: no problem. [18:02] shreymech, pidfile is a recording of what PID (process ID) a particular program is running with - it's saying no PIDFILE most likely because the program isn't running [18:02] shreymech, i really wouldn't worry too much about it myself [18:02] ZykoticK9, ohkk... [18:03] is it possible to change the default icon spacing distance for the Gnome desktop? [18:03] ZykoticK9, i can't open xclock [18:03] ZykoticK9, hey man. how did u have soo much knowledge about LINUX.. whats your age.. are u a engineer [18:03] ?? [18:03] What commands sets root back to the default disabeled stage? sudo passwd root NULL ? [18:03] ZykoticK9, i can open it as user 'babo'. but not as user 'oracle' or 'root' [18:04] i've set the DISPLAY variable to be the same in each [18:04] babo1, the error you're getting with xchat is saying it can't open a windows in X - most usually caused because you're trying to run it as root (which is blocked in some instances) [18:04] ok, i have a serious / filesystem issue: i have an almost plainjain xubuntu install on a 40GB / partition, and its down to nearly 990MB! Things are going to get hairy if it runs out all of a sudden [18:04] ZykoticK9, i get the same error when i try it as oracle [18:04] babo1, you shouldn't really be trying to open ANY application as root (with only occasional exceptions) [18:04] babo1, why are you trying to run things under different users? [18:05] ne and only installed [18:05] apache [18:05] sudo adduser audio [18:05] [18:05] ZykoticK9, i'm trying to install oracle 11g [18:05] vng: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:06] no ideas ? [18:06] vng, yeah actually the various DB packages already contain PDO, there's no PDO specific package [18:06] ZykoticK9, hey can i uninstall jackd ..??? [18:06] GSF1200S, thats a good question. [18:06] babo1, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with running xchat as root/oracle? I have never installed "Oracle 11g", don't even know what that is - but typically you'd run the install with "sudo" if it's a command line thing, or "gksu" if it's a graphical installer [18:06] vng, dunno what you were referencing or why, but Pici helped me figure it out [18:06] hi [18:07] shreymech, ? dunno - it's not installed on my system, but perhaps something you did install requires it [18:07] aight thx yall, peace out === Sabbel is now known as Sabrinchen [18:08] GSF1200S: check with Aplications>Accesories >disk use analizr. where all the space is going [18:09] hello.

[18:09] hello. for some reason ubuntu 9.10 won't install at all. it seems to be unable to load the kernel after the first boot splash from the installation CD. any ideas what i can do? [18:09] erUSUL: /lib/udev/ has 14 items and is 7 GB large [18:09] Can anybody help me. I'm running a ubuntu 9.10 and the sound quality is not good. I think I have to change the sound system but I don't know how. [18:10] gilligan1, maybe you can change the grapgic setings [18:10] Hi [18:10] TheBase, is the sound always poor or just in certain programs? [18:10] GSF1200S: go there and find out who's the culprit... mine is 1.5 MiB [18:10] TheBase: I did an apt-get remove pulse-audio. I now use ALSA only and finally have sound in flash as well as other apps [18:11] I though it was just on the browser but now I realised with mplayer is also not very good. [18:11] ok, so nevermind... i'm wondering if there's a recommended route for setting up apache document root(s) so that I can edit the website contents as my regular user as opposed to root [18:11] hmm [18:11] as in nevermind i guess i'm not done yet :) [18:11] rlameiro: i tried different settings. my guess is, that my box isn't working with the kernel for some weird reason [18:11] It works but when you have kind of load sounds it gets bad [18:11] TheBase, be aware that dagny_taggart might have consequences, 1st you won't have a volume control on your panel - you might also have issues with browser audio after... [18:11] erUSUL: nothing inside is that large.. whats the command for filesystem freespace check via cli, preferably in terms of GB [18:12] GSF1200S: df -hs [18:12] i'm well familiar with configuring apache and vhosts... just curious as to whether there's a standard method on ubuntu for allowing my regular user to edit website files... cuz afaik the standard document root for apache is owned, in fact, by root... not by my regular user [18:12] Zykotick9: You are correct, no sound applet on the panel. But so far no other consequences, it's all good [18:12] hola [18:12] I remember I saw a list with the sound systems before but I can't find it anymore [18:12] adrian__: found some left-handed pointers for you, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ComixCursors?content=32627 download an unpack ComixCursors-LH-0.6.1.tar.bz2 to ~/.icons [18:12] hello [18:12] yeah, df -h shows 991MB free on / [18:13] hoooooooooooooooooolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [18:13] gilligan1, wich box do you have? [18:13] thank you very much [18:13] "es | almu [18:13] dagny_taggart, i experimented with removing Pulse from Karmic - i ended up having more issues then it was worth - but hey if it's working for you great.

[18:17] aaronfc: Users from the web gateway are quieted in that channel [18:17] aaronfc: Channel problems then, nothing you can fix I believe [18:17] GSF1200S: run it as root (with gksudo); btw found out what was wrong in /lib/udev/ ? [18:18] ZykoticK9, cool. I'll try that. Thanks [18:18] aaronfc: You'll need to connect via a real IRC client, or convince an op from that channel to set an exempt on you (or remove that +q entry) [18:18] erUSUL: the rest according to it is using less than 3GB.. thunar is reporting /lib to be over 7GB.. [18:18] erUSUL: yeah, I was root in terminal upon launch [18:18] gilligan1, maybe try the alternate iso.... cant help more than that, you have a good system :D [18:18] bigpresh: how can I do it ?

[18:21] GSF1200S: something is fishy with the filesystem. i would just pass a fsck [18:22] GSF1200S: "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot [18:22] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot-Nautilus-strange.png - As you can see, icons are lined up strangely, one area is weirdly left out, how can one fix this?

I also would like to avoid doing fsck on my other drives [18:26] how can i install fonts in ubuntu?? [18:26] lfaraone, thanks. then it must be a grub2 problem im having.

[18:27] airtonix: never used it, but if you're planning on actually maintaining a package (as opposed to a once-off install), it would probably be the way to go. [18:27] GSF1200S: you can do it from a livecd. and tweak the command line options.. see « man e2fsck » [18:27] I'm having a problem with ubuntu graphics, and I'm new to IRC. [18:27] erUSUL: allright thanks.. [18:27] IanWizard: what specifically is your problem? [18:27] IanWizard: Can you describe your problem? [18:28] airtonix: another possibility would be to use "stow", and keep your source installs in /usr/local (the solution i prefer personally) [18:28] lfaraone, you wouldn't happen to know why when I try to chainload into grub2 on /dev/sda1 that I'm getting an error: invalid magic number, would you?

I changed it to administrator from custom. [18:30] jage: it should automagically be executable, and read-only is normal.

[18:56] that seems... odd [18:58] abstrakt, certainly doesn't work for me? [18:58] ZykoticK9, er... what? i don't understand what you mean by that... what certainly doesn't work for you? and why the question mark... [18:59] How i can remove unused icon from panel at places ? [18:59] abstrakt, it shouldn't work for you either, are you using sudo before your command? [18:59] zilkomaa, right click [18:59] ZykoticK9, i'm not doing anything right now, i'm questioning the validity of trism's response to me in regards to my goals [18:59] to install ubunto over network, when setting up the bootp server, does the 'pxe' boot file just mean the .iso file? [19:00] !install [19:00] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[19:00] abstrakt: I never said anything about editing root files, you have a project in $HOME/Websites/someproject, owned, by you, you place a symbolic link to it in /var/www, and you can access it, but the directory is owned by you [19:00] abstrakt: it only opens that etc if i click home folder [19:00] ZykoticK9, i haven't implemented his suggestion... i was questioning it heavily before i did, as i don't think he quite understands that i DO NOT want to have to use sudo [19:00] yeah i'm following that guide and want clarification [19:00] trism, ohhh ok, not enough info, i thought you meant the reverse, place symlinks in the home folder [19:00] i mean that where is applications places system [19:00] abstrakt: oh, sorry, the other way around [19:01] ok, does no one know of the printer drivers, zjs or plc? [19:01] trism, k, so i mean, why would that be any different though from just telling the vhosts to use /home/abstrakt/Websites/mysite/html as document root [19:01] abstrakt: it isn't really [19:01] seems about the same amount of work to me... in fact it seems to just add an extra step [19:01] shane2peru, that a pretty specific question - if there a CUPS channel you could ask in perhaps? i don't know. [19:02] abstrakt: from places i want to remove named storage because there is two storage named shortcuts [19:02] trism, ok so that's how i have it setup right now, my vhosts just point their document roots straight to my home folder, but i'm getting 403 forbidden [19:02] ZykoticK9, right, I was not sure where to ask it, I will look for a cups channel, good idea. [19:02] zilkomaa, oh... you said panel, not places [19:02] zilkomaa, i don't know how to edit the places menu [19:02] how long does check disc for defects usually take?

[19:03] abstrakt: I have no idea, I don't mess with apache that much, which is why I use the sym link on my dev machine, then I don't generally have to mess with the default apache config at all [19:03] zilkomaa, lol, that's less a case of bad english, more a case of saying the right thing... regardless of the language you speak [19:03] trism, do you use vhosts? [19:03] abstrakt: =) [19:04] well actually i suppose you do, since it's setup as vhosts anyway... but i mean multiple vhosts [19:04] How do i remove icon from places menu ? [19:04] erUSUL: OK [19:04] zilkomaa, i don't think you do. or if you do, you probably need to edit a config/text file somewhere, cuz places doesn't show up in the menu editor [19:05] erUSUL: I keep getting I/O error rebooting when I try to boot the disc [19:05] then I am loooking for netboot installer tar file on ubuntu.com and not finding [19:05] so wanted to know before I lock up my only computer [19:05] zilkomaa, open nautilus, show the places side plane, you can add and remove items there [19:05] zilkomaa: remove it from the nautilus side panel. just select it a and hit supr ? [19:05] no, I don't flood. I have a problem with irc client. Sorry! [19:05] when i upload a file on htts://files.one.ubuntu.com/upload/ . I see Invalid Form Data [19:05] will Vbox work to check a burned CD? [19:05] What is it? [19:06] aight, so... anyone else have a guess? why do i get 403 forbidden on my vhosts? they're pretty much OTB copies of default but with different document roots... is the fact that my home folder is private/encrypted a problem? [19:06] It seem that something's wrong with my ubuntu one. When i upload a file on htts://files.one.ubuntu.com/upload/ . I see Invalid Form Data error. I don't know why?

I certainly don;'t think delaying a stable release is a good policy...but anyway as long as ubuntu is canonical ubuntu some things will always be the way they are right now.... however I love ubuntu and want it to be better [19:31] fakeer: actually i'm using ubuntuzilla. Its very easy to update like apt-get update command. earlier they had a script which was cumbersome to use. but the new repository structure is good.

[19:33] is there a better way to add applications to the Applications menu than the GUI Edit Menus? [19:33] kedlun: if you press "up" key you can track your steps back [19:33] kedlun: clear just moves everything up, scroll up in terminal to see it again [19:33] hi everyone, i have a file which is owned by root(me), and i wanted to give free access to everybody inside the machine with the command chmod ugo+rx directory-name , so why when i give a right click in nautilus with the mouse, the permission is still set to root? [19:33] hola esto q es ingles??? [19:33] darolu, yeah, but not output, unfortunately. [19:33] fakeer, er... you mean the little plus sign button to the right of my last tab? [19:33] pratik_narain: but my problem is not the browser but update cycle brought into ubuntu repos [19:33] scootsm: probably it's hidden by the menu editor (alacarte). The job is done by the "system" menu anyway so actually no need to double this by having it [19:33] fakeer, i've got that [19:33] metricpiano: No, not really. The application menus are in the freedesktop.org specification, which is a messy xml file. alacarte (the name of the edit menu tool) is the easiest way to add new items. [19:33] fakeer, i like your motivation to make Ubuntu better - but what you are advocating would require splitting Ubuntu into Stable / Testing branches which would certainly complicate matters for everyone.

I want to have an easy way to admin a web server+mysql / manage packages / etc. Is there a good set of tools to install, to make this easy.... Or is there an ideal distro for this scenario? [19:37] i Don't know, i am a bit of a newb [19:37] stefg / ZykoticK9: It's weird, because even after restarting the menus did not seem to update.

The SuSE (barf) server was OK at this, with the exception of it generating faulty starting configs. [19:40] fakeer: the Tab Mix Plus extension will give you that setting, to open a new tab next to the tab you opened it from [19:40] fakeer, mmm, next to the *current* one... k, so your critical app is that you don't have to drag the newly opened tab into place where you want it... === raven is now known as _raven [19:40] scootsm: look at tools like ebox, mysqladmin etc [19:41] darolu: it seems like my wireless network adapter is not installed [19:41] carlll, it doesn't seem to have a native linux client, and there is not currently an entry on WineHQ - you could just try installing with wine and see if it works? good luck. [19:41] darolu: Says not DCHPOFFERS received [19:41] save yourself some mousing time... admirable, but i still don't see why you don't just make your own 3.6 package or just download 3.6 from firefox.com and install it... [19:41] stefg: Well, the Gnome Control Center, for one. I installed programming tools / IDEs (Kate / Eclipse / others) and they never showed up [19:42] zykoticK9 yes there is a native linux but ITS ON WWW.worldofminecraft.com [19:42] carlll, didn't realize it was a java thing - good luck man [19:42] stefg / ZykoticK9: Yes, all tools were installed via the Software Centeropolis [19:42] abstrakt: leave it.. no use talking about it when you aren't able to see what i actually meant... [19:42] how do i check to see if my wireless network card is installed? [19:42] so I installed xubuntu-desktop, and i'm now trying to remove everything it installed. apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop just seems to remove that package, not all the underlying stuff. What's the magic command to get rid of it all? [19:42] ahusak: there isn't one [19:42] how do i check to see if my wireless network card Drivers is installed: [19:42] oh joy [19:43] fakeer: check out Tab Mix Plus, I believe it may do what you're looking for [19:43] scootsm: check by right-clicking on the menu and choosing 'edit menus' the the entries are not simply hidden [19:43] scootsm, do you see an Other category in your menu? are they in there perhaps? [19:43] any ideas on what to do? or am i just going to have to reinstall kubuntu? [19:43] lspci | grep controller [19:44] ZykoticK9: I'm not that stupid :) No other categories.

[19:45] thanks mneptok [19:45] mneptok, use pastbin instead of flooding the channel [19:45] when I start up my computer after upgrading to the .19 kernel, I get the error "could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority". I found out why: I don't have a /var/lib/gdm directory. I do have .ICEauthority in my home directory, and I have owner read-write and group read permissions. Can I copy the .ICEauthority file to where the error said it was looking for it?

[19:47] capullos [19:47] abumaia: personal choice [19:47] what??

[19:48] I had heard that aptitude was a "sequel" to apt-get, so I wasn't sure which was better to use [19:49] im launching it with the run.bat and i put the jar file in the lib folder [19:49] carlll: run.bat is a windows batch file [19:49] so what do i do to run it? [19:49] well, done reinstalling, going down for a reboot, I'll be back if there are futher problems [19:50] carlll: I don't know, but on their webpage are support and install docs and an irc channel, it may be better to ask them [19:50] hijo de puta [19:50] ikonia i asked them but all they said was to reinstall it and i already did [19:51] putas [19:51] carlll: work with them, explain that your running linux, not windows, explain the error [19:51] viano: /join #ubuntu-es and watch the language... [19:51] Where Open LDAP stores user information and is that recoverable by any means ? [19:52] furythor: ldap stores it's information in a "database" or directory, that's it's whole purpose [19:52] furythor, /var/lib/ldap/ [19:52] furythor, and there are recovery tools for its default formats [19:52] I do wonder that what it could have set as default password after install [19:53] ikonia, (technically: ldap is a directory. The openldap implementation can store the information in a variety of database backends. Historycally that was bdb, but nowadays hdb is prefered) [19:53] furythor, openldap doesn't set default passwords. [19:53] Seveas: I did say directory, I was trying to use database to explain to someone who doesn't know what ldap is [19:54] Do you guys know any program for webcams?

[19:55] then does Open LDAP suit if I want to create access control to my server for various users and groups [19:55] scootsm: I suggest you stay well away unless you have a genuine need, which basic from the questions you're asking - you don't [19:55] furythor, yeah [19:55] how do I edit my smb.conf file [19:55] scootsm: debian sid :/ [19:55] furythor: ldap is an excellent authentication model [19:55] Coachj: any text editor you want [19:55] furythor, but if it is just one server, don't bother. Use local groups. [19:55] do i nedd to type sudo? [19:55] Coachj: yes [19:55] furythor, ldap is good though if you have more than one server :) [19:55] Seveas: rule of 10 ? [19:56] ikonia, rule of 2 [19:56] ooh, [19:56] (I always use ldap for environments with more than 1 server :) [19:56] Seveas: lazier than I [19:56] ;) [19:56] ikonia, different rule ;) [19:56] Seveas well actually this is something I am interested to learn for future job opportunities since I know there are few possible if I got the "Know how" [19:56] Coachj, for a GUI edit you could use "gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf" [19:56] rule of 10 isn't always appropriate though. If you know for sure one server will be enough, don't plan for 2 or more :) [19:57] Seveas: touche' [19:57] ill try that [19:57] has anyone gotten pHash to build? [19:57] why does firefox and chrome wig out on flash....is there a fix..or a constant work in progress [19:57] furythor, then by all means play around with it. ldap definitely is a good thing to know if you want to get a sysadmin job [19:57] I've searched the forums and found various WLAN card lists, apparently my wireless card IS supported (Netgear WG311v2) both natively and using ndiswrapper - but lshw and lspci report it as UNCLAIMED - how do I kick the driver into action? [19:58] Yeah, I know that around thousand ppl I know of, I am probably only who really could become sys admin [19:58] guys when it talks about a version and it says: 'an older version' it means, a version made after that one, or before? i think it means before but i'm not sure [19:58] most aren't just bothered with this kind of things, but this is driving me little nuts === KB1JWQ is now known as PancakeStaffer [19:58] obiwan_: when what talks about it ? [19:58] it's a man [19:59] i'm having a real hard time understanding it ikonia [19:59] obiwan_: what's the question ? [19:59] obiwan_: what's the actual question [19:59] why does firefox and chrome wig out on flash....is there a fix..or a constant work in progress [19:59] cause flash is fail [19:59] ugliefrog: flash is closed source and therefore not always %100 stable with linux components [20:00] Thank you, that did it [20:01] hello all [20:01] is there a fix for 9.10 for Huawei e220 modem yet? a simple patch?

[20:24] mauri: technically it can be done w/ various hacks (but for the average user, no you can't). there are only a few reasons why you might want that (and if you don't know the reasons, you don't need them) [20:25] knxville: turn your webcam around [20:25] 180 degrees [20:25] very easy to share files with smb and ubuntu :) [20:25] unop: mick_laptop I supposed that it should be driven by grub....

It would be better to answer. [20:36] Wind0pain, right click the switcher in the Gnome Panel and goto preferences - number of desktop should be changable there (Columns) [20:36] unop: im not an expert but i supposed that [20:36] HappyHobo: we hear you - no need to shout [20:36] !attitude | besogon [20:36] besogon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

My question, can my xorg.conf file contain nothing but hte touchpad entries, as I do not want to F up anything else in the process. Thanks [20:39] mauri, when you use a chroot you usually run that distro within another - i suppose you could apply the same principle for grub, but it requires too much work - you need to change a lot of files around to point to new directory locations e.g. to point to /lucid/var instead of /var -- i think you should just create a new partiton and use that instead. [20:39] because no one else is paying attention guntbert [20:39] erUSUL: i have that installed; on the ccsm page for the cube, there are three shortcut keys.. unfold, next slid, and prev slide... not one to display it though [20:39] anyone know? [20:40] alienkid10, typically Persistent installs use USB drivers -- you understand that a persistent CD would need some sort of HD storage. [20:40] Wind0pain: I would recommend you install simple-ccsm and use the Custom radio button so the settings in ccsm will be saved.

[22:05] Myrtti, not after his last message. :) [22:06] jp--: not a good idea. libc is the central library of linux systems. messing with it is dangerous [22:06] Myrtti, I was talking to iceroot to tell him to be a bit more specific about what he's letting people know what to stop doing. [22:06] Myrtti, great job [22:06] i'm running ubuntu 9.10 and would like to be able to output to tv using s-video. right now i'm getting 0 output. any advice on how to get this working? [22:06] c3l, extract the lmms-0.4.6 file to your home directory, then open the terminal and paste this cd lmms-0.4.6 && mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ && make && sudo make install [22:06] SpaceGhostC2C: i mean, stop everything you (he) is doing here. and now lets stop being off topic [22:06] Jesus, the "Ubuntu Software Center" design is godawful. "Get Free Software" -> "Programming" -> 163 items available, enjoy sifting through all the choices! === DGPRO is now known as DGPRO|away [22:07] * Myrtti curtsies to Crazyguy [22:07] uh... :) [22:07] does anyone here use amsn? i have a question and don't know where to go to find the answer for it [22:07] GhostWolf: try it by asking [22:08] i'm running ubuntu 9.10 and would like to be able to output to tv using s-video. right now i'm getting 0 output. any advice on how to get this working? [22:08] hm [22:08] mikobuntu, that makes it a lot simpler, thanks!=) [22:08] erUSUL, ouch. [22:08] well iceroot i did asking if anyone here uses msn [22:08] i mean asmn [22:08] on ubuntu [22:08] iceroot, the only thing he did wrong was caps. I'm assuming he was using some odd client that allowed colouring and then he was impatient. Be more specific when telling users to stop something, thanks. [22:08] !anyone | GhostWolf [22:08] GhostWolf: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? === carlll is now known as carlllewispope [22:08] iceroot im not dumb i know what anyone means [22:08] uh oh [22:08] ok :0 [22:09] GhostWolf: what about asking the real question? [22:09] after a fresh install to ubuntu 9.10 from opensuse i cannot achieve a screen resolution of 1024x768 can anyone help me out? [22:09] jp--: if you really need the new libc upgrade to the new version of the distribution [22:09] i rather find out who uses amsn first thats a real question if you don't think so then i don't know what to tell you [22:09] !best GhostWolf [22:09] !best | GhostWolf [22:09] GhostWolf: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:10] best? [22:10] GhostWolf, yes, people use amsn. Now ask the real question... [22:10] GhostWolf, go ask the bots what people use. [22:10] version 9.10, no sound in flash! [22:10] GhostWolf: please ask you amsn related question, if anyone knows the answer.. (what ubottu told) [22:11] I'm having a bit of a problem... no sound is coming out, and I'm sure it did came out earlier... how do I fix this?. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 [22:11] reason i asking if people use it so i can ask them personally without people not using it sheesh tough crowed in here atm.. [22:11] dude!! [22:11] GhostWolf: i know Myrtti will tell me something... but can you stop trolling? [22:11] GhostWolf, if you need help, just say your question bro. It's how it works. It's created more chatter to ask. [22:12] iceroot, to ask a troll not to troll is feeding the troll. [22:12] GhostWolf: just ask your question. [22:12] Myrtti, im trying to, just trying to find the right wording for it.. [22:12] I had sound working fine, then it started disappearing sometimes that required quitting firefox, killing the process from command line, and now even that doesn't help. I have stock flash installed with ubuntu === goose is now known as Guest99823 [22:12] brilliant! back to normal programming! [22:13] GhostWolf, gather your thoughts and form the question, and then ask us. We'll do our best to help you.

[22:16] I have downloaded and installed ubuntu with wubi I updated it and now grub is having some problems [22:16] GhostWolf, anywhere where we can see it will do :) [22:16] !imagebin | GhostWolf [22:16] GhostWolf: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [22:16] I have spent the last 6 hours trying to figure this out [22:17] Nibz: we havent' heard of the actual problem [22:17] ubuntu wont load [22:17] after update [22:17] i know how to do screenshots lol again im not dumb i just trying to figure the best way to show it here [22:17] !details | Nibz [22:17] Nibz: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:18] GhostWolf: you missed the url part of the factoid ----- >>>>> http://tinyurl.com/imagebin [22:18] ok.. [22:19] After downloading and installing ubuntu 9.1 I updated rebooted, Grub came up with its promot and will not load ubuntu [22:19] <[1]timaaarrreee> hmm [22:19] Nibz: what about error-codes? [22:19] Nibz: yiou end up in some sort of minimal shell ? busybox ? [22:19] yeah [22:19] busybox [22:19] droped my shell [22:20] What's a good movie player for KDE besides kaffiene?? [22:20] Nibz: iceroot asked already any menaingfull message? [22:20] edbian: vlc [22:20] says canot find roo.disk I tryed sda1 and sda2 my patrion is on drive 2 [22:20] Nibz: is a wubi install .... [22:20] Yes [22:20] ? [22:20] hm does someone know if there is possible to pxe boot ie. debian live cd or ubuntu live cd as persistent when booting it from a nfs server? i mean, how could i access ie. casper-rw persistant filesystem when the livecd is mounted as cdrom? :/ [22:21] I installed with qubi [22:21] Nibz: and the file is still in the windows drive? [22:21] qubi [22:21] Yes [22:21] the files are all there [22:21] i can boot it as a live cd from nfs, but not accessing casper-rw [22:21] aight so how do I go about getting my wireless to work. the ubuntu software manager told me to install the BCM drivers for my Dell 1490 WLAN card and it "appears" to work, e.g. when i flick the physical switch on my laptop wireless card to the "on" position, i do get an "enable wireless" checkbox when I right click the network connection icon on the panel [22:21] but i don't get any autodetected networks [22:21] !wubi | Nibz see the wiki page it has a lot of info [22:21] Nibz see the wiki page it has a lot of info: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:21] I have looked at that [22:21] I have spent the last 6 hours trying to fix the problem [22:21] Nibz: i never used wubi so i can not help further sorry [22:22] and when i try to set up a network manually the apply button stays ghosted/grayed out so I can't do anything [22:22] I have reinstalled tryed sudo install-grub2 [22:22] It seems the update is overwriting my kernal [22:22] hello all [22:22] how can you tell if you have a certain library ready to use for linking? is there a command for that? [22:23] lobo_tuerto: can you give more background please. [22:23] !wireless [22:23] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:24] lobo_tuerto: make sure the -dev package for the lib is present [22:24] So noone can help me with my problem [22:24] I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. Thanks [22:24] ikonia: I'm trying to compile something in my ubuntu box, but it is complaining I'm lacking "-lruby19" (but I have /usr/local/lib/libruby19-static.a) [22:24] erUSUL: I have already installed ruby19-dev :( [22:24] is it possible to configure a wine application to use a specific version of windows so that you dont have to change the global setting? [22:25] Hi [22:25] Nibz: are you saying you can not boot into Ubuntu? [22:25] !hi | Glowball [22:25] Glowball: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:25] Thats corect [22:25] lobo_tuerto: did you configure it to look in /usr/local/lib for libarries ? [22:25] (SpaceGhose: I know, I was already typing, I just say hi first :P) [22:25] Nibz: Is this maybe the problem?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104?comments=all If soo, try replacing (rather backup and replace) the current wubildr with the one in comment #90 [22:25] lobo_tuerto: -L/usr/local/lib for example or the correct configuration, is your dynamic linker setup to look in /usr/local/lib ? [22:25] http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/102/screenshotqez.png for those who wanted to see the image of what i meant on amsn [22:25] Glowball, no worries then. Got a question? [22:26] I'm looking for sun-java6-jdk, but I can't find it in synaptic anymore... (Somebody confirmed me it was in there with that name before), was it renamed? [22:26] ikonia: this is part of the command: gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib [22:26] !info sun-java6-jdk | Glowball [22:26] GhostWolf, does this interfere with anything? [22:26] lobo_tuerto: looks like it's looking in the right place, why is ruby in /usr/local/lib, it's normally in /usr/lib on an ubuntu install [22:26] Glowball: sun-java6-jdk (source: sun-java6): Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-15-1 (karmic), package size 18087 kB, installed size 56628 kB (Only available for all amd64 i386 lpia ia64) [22:26] slowbottu. [22:26] Nibz: and what have you tried so far? You might want to type it all out into a pastebin, so you can reuse it if noone can help you now, so you don't have to type it over and over [22:26] ill check that arand [22:26] Glowball: maybe you need to enable multiverse? (weird it is disables though) [22:27] ikonia: when I compiled and installed ruby 1.9, I decided to put it in my /usr/local since I installed it manually [22:27] Hi! [22:27] SpaceGhostC2C, not that im aware of i just know people who add me or i added after i got amsn looks like that i just don't like it it, its a bit annoying to me [22:27] lobo_tuerto: ok, so it's because you've compiled it manually, that makes sense [22:27] what do I have to do on a 64bit machine to be able to run 32bit programs? [22:27] e.g. downloaded Firefox [22:27] erUSUL: I'll have a look.. [22:27] GhostWolf, interesting. I don't know what it is for exactly. [22:27] tessarakt, sudo apt-get instal ia32-libs [22:27] lobo_tuerto: surprised it's causing you a problem if you're saying -L/usr/local/lib [22:28] thx [22:28] What app did I lose if nautilus tells me "There is no application installed for executable files"? [22:28] SpaceGhostC2C, me neither i think its something that showing me someone didn't add me [22:28] Dabar I have tryed everything on that site you gave me [22:28] I searched for x86 [22:28] ikonia: maybe I need to rename that /usr/local/lib/libruby19-static.a to something else? so it can find it as -lruby19 [22:28] GhostWolf, possible. [22:28] and 32 was a bit too generic [22:28] And/or how do I find out? [22:28] erUSUL: It's disabled indeed. Quite strange I *do* find the jre... [22:28] lobo_tuerto: no, you shouldn't need to rename it, that's fine,....ahh wait [22:28] http://rapidshare.com/files/349784666/Robert_Cialdini_-_Influence_Science_and_Practice__5th_Edition__2008__OCR_.pdf.html [22:28] lobo_tuerto: it's doing -shared = shared libaries, .la is static [22:28] I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. I understand being asked for a password for the backend and to login but I have never seen it on the frontend. Thanks [22:28] Daughain, it's not associated with the files, you might not have lost a application, just the association. [22:28] Goliath: what's that for ? [22:29] 2 more minutes and I have my beloved Thunderbird3 back ... [22:29] ikonia: wrong paste [22:29] Goliath: no problem [22:29] but SpaceGhostC2C i know those people added me so i dunno even one person added me when i had to use my windows machine for a while cause i was on dial up [22:29] lobo_tuerto: when you've built ruby, you've only built the static libraries, that's why it's failing [22:29] #vivaolinux [22:29] anyone know if it is possible to configure a vpn connection in network manager and then start/stop it from the terminal? [22:29] hey i want to copy the whole website of lyrics any idea how to do that. using ubuntu 9.10 [22:29] SpaceGhostC2C: How do I reset the association? [22:29] Nibz: hey, when did I give you a site? [22:30] Dabar: Few min ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104?comments=all [22:30] that was someone else. [22:30] ikonia: ohhh :O do you know what do I need to do for it got generate the shared ones? (or do I need to go google it?) :) [22:30] Dabar: My bad [22:30] lobo_tuerto: need to recompile ruby, look for the shared libs options [22:30] Dabar: But I have tryed everyone on that site. [22:30] Seveas, looks like I'm affected by this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/459716 [22:30] Nibz: so you just installed ubuntu using wubi. You can not boot into it, right? [22:30] lobo_tuerto: you could just link it against ruby supplied with ubuntu [22:31] Daughain, I'm looking it up. [22:31] dabar: Yes I can boot the first time but not have I update [22:31] SpaceGhostC2C: Thanks. [22:31] Seveas, do you have WPA working using ndiswrapper in 9.10 - and if so did you have to do your own build or is there another (less scary) way? [22:31] Daughain, here is one answer, but I remember seeing something better. [22:31] Daughain, http://techntools.vox.com/library/post/changing-file-associations-in-ubuntu-is-as-easy-as-cake.html [22:31] Nibz: so, you installed, it worked, you updated and it does not work any more? [22:31] al__, I don't. I've used intel hardware for years, no problems at all :) [22:31] SpaceGhostC2C: Cool, thanks. =) [22:31] Seveas, heh [22:32] Dabar: Correct is on boot it brings me the grub promt [22:32] ikonia: I already did sudo apt-get build-dep ruby1.8 ruby1.9 [22:32] ikonia: thought that would take care of that [22:32] lobo_tuerto: not if the build options are static [22:33] Seveas, though getting the latest code and rebuilding it I guess wouldn't help if the bug itself isn't fixed - or am I missing something? [22:33] Nibz: and what did you try on the prompt? [22:33] ikonia: lol, I just solved my problem [22:33] lobo_tuerto: ooh, cool, do tell [22:33] al__, if upstream hasn't fixed the bug tht will indeed not help [22:33] I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. Is this a bug? Thanks [22:33] ikonia: you know what I did? renamed libruby19-static.a to libruby19.a [22:33] and it succesfully compiled and installed [22:33] my ruby-opengl :) [22:34] Dabar: linux/boot/vml... root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/roo.disk ro >initrd /boot/init... >boot [22:34] lobo_tuerto: and it's linked against the static libary ? [22:34] lobo_tuerto: didn't think that would work as the gcc line you've shown me was using -shared [22:34] i want to copy whole website of lyrics any idea how i gonna do that? === sekrit is now known as charitwo [22:34] SpaceGhostC2C: Ok.....What app do I need to associate an exe file with? [22:34] ikonia: yeah, me too, but it did... I will run the samples to check everything is alright [22:34] codenamenos, maybe you should look up wget. man wget is the command. [22:34] Nibz: Do you know that /dev/sda2 is correct? [22:34] hey guys [22:34] so no one else would know the problem with amsn that has an x inside a circle? [22:34] Daughain, depends, is it a windows app you want to run? [22:34] lobo_tuerto: be interesting to see if it's stable, nice spot though [22:34] Does anyone know if there's a way to make google chrome use your window manager's theming? [22:35] guys, any idea about how can I mount a dvd on my windows and read it from my netbook? [22:35] remote dvd stuff [22:35] SpaceGhostC2C: No, linux app. windows I know what to link it to. =) [22:35] GhostWolf: the amsn faq says that the person does not have you in their contact list [22:35] dabar: Yes I do [22:35] pH_: you'd have to share your dvd drive on windows, it will be slow though === codenamenos is now known as codename09 [22:35] Oh pffft, nevermind, I didn't look well enough [22:35] Daughain, are you sure it's a linux app? .exe is usually windows.. [22:36] trism well i know they do, cause they added me on the normal msn when i had to use windows on dial up [22:36] GhostWolf: a forum post I found said this could be for 3 reason, the user removed you, didn't add you yet, or it is a bug with the server and they really do have you [22:36] ikonia: well, the chingu's game samples run just good, thanks for your support :) [22:36] lobo_tuerto: you fixed it yourself, well dont "yourself" [22:37] dabar: still there? [22:37] trism, well its mainly the 3rd option.. i know for a fact the person added me cause i accepted it when i was on my windows comp before i could get dsl back [22:37] SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, I just write it that way, since I dont actually know what file extension linux apps use. [22:37] Nibz: yes. A couple of people say they can manually boot. [22:37] Daughain, linux isn't dependent on a file extiension [22:38] Oi.... [22:38] Dabar: With the same thing I typed to you? [22:38] Its unetbootin for linux. [22:38] Daughain, I'd rename the file to just the name or something you want. [22:38] ikonia: how [22:38] ? [22:38] Daughain, so when you downloaded it, what was it's name? [22:38] pH_: the guys in ##windows will tell you how to share your cd drive, you then need to use "samba" on linux to mount it [22:38] SpaceGhostC2C: unetbootin-linux-393 [22:38] what's the best media server for playihg HD 5.1 1080p/i moivies [22:39] then all you should need to do is chmod +x unetbootin-linux-393 and then ./unetbootin-linux-393 [22:39] mtrg: the client is what matters [22:39] ok anyways thanks for the problem guys have a nice weekend [22:39] Nibz: ya, looks like. [22:39] Dabar: What is /dev [22:39] As in here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104/comments/18 [22:39] ikonia, but don't some servers have better features, like on the fly transcoding? [22:39] ikonia: do you know any tut? [22:40] Dabar: I know for a face that sda2 is correct but im not sure about /dev [22:40] Nibz: it is where file nodes [22:40] ikonia: my client is an xbox360, connected to Harman/Kardon AVR with 5.1 setup, and a 1080i screen [22:40] SpaceGhostC2C: it doesn't matter if he's serving files [22:40] SpaceGhostC2C: Ummmm....What does that do?? I dont care what it is called, I need to find out how to make it run. =) [22:40] mtrg: so you're using upnp [22:40] ikonia, good point. [22:40] Nibz: it is where "file nodes" for devices go. [22:40] Dabar: Then Yes it should work [22:40] Daughain, that makes it executable and then runs it. [22:40] Nibz: in Unix, everything is a file, even a device - you read from it, and write to it [22:40] ikonia: i thought upnp is for auto configuring NAT on routers [22:40] Dabar: I have the correct partition selected [22:40] Nibz: how do you know sda2 is good? [22:40] mtrg: no, [22:40] !info udev | Nibz [22:40] Nibz: udev (source: udev): rule-based device node and kernel event manager. In component main, is important. Version 147~-6.1 (karmic), package size 420 kB, installed size 1432 kB [22:41] SpaceGhostC2C: And, last time I tried playing in term, I lost these associations and crashed dolphin. [22:41] * dabaR thinks SpaceGhostC2C is cute [22:41] OK, I'll give it a try. =) [22:41] mtrg: I'm asking as you'll need a client that's compatible with your server, so it depends what servers the xbox can use, hence why I was wondering if you where using upnp [22:41] ikonia: do you recommend any upnp streaming server, that supports WMA HD 5.1 streaming? [22:41] dabar: I intstalled it on my second partiton or my d:/ drive so it should be 2 [22:42] mtrg: the streaming isn't important - it's just a file. It's more important that the client can deal with the encoding and is compatible with the server [22:42] I've seen hda2 [22:42] I think it is the diff between sata and ide drives [22:42] i get authentication failed over and over at spash login; this is after ldap was installed now i am trying to recover. i've reset my password with grub recovery mode, but i still get authentication failed over and over HELP! [22:42] * dabaR could be way off on this one [22:42] sort of odd issue (in server 9.10), I can browse to a drive but the cmd "df" doesnt see it, nor does "ls /dev/sd*" [22:42] can some1 help - screen goes black while im using my laptop and it wont come back on forcing me to reboot. plz help and thanks in advance [22:42] ikonia: encoding aka codecs?

[22:43] mtrg: a file is encoded with a "codec" if you want, if that's not compatible with the client, it won't matter [22:43] anyone know how to get that drive to show up when i do df? [22:43] Space: Hes talking to me [22:43] rambo298: is pam set to only accept ldap or also local /etc/passwd? if not, set /etc/passwd also [22:43] maddhat: mount it [22:43] ikonia: right, that's why I said WMA HD [22:43] dabaR, you should use the usernames to reply to someone. like everyone else is doing. [22:43] ikonia: it must be mounted already.. as i said, i can browse to it [22:43] mtrg: ok, so the server doesn't matter, it's just a file [22:44] Dabar: Ok say it was hda2 Would dev will be the correct path [22:44] maddhat: is it a samba mount by any chance ? [22:44] ikonia: and that file must be encoded properly as WMA HD? [22:44] space: He missed it once [22:44] iceroot i removed pam (i think); if i edit /etc/passwd in recovery mode (root), and just delete my password between the ":" like i did with /etc/shadow, will that work? [22:44] mtrg: yes [22:44] ikonia: no, im browsing through term (ssh'd in) [22:44] ikonia: good to know [22:44] SpaceGhostC2C: That got it, thanks again. =) [22:44] can some1 help - screen goes black while im using my laptop and it wont come back on forcing me to reboot. plz help and thanks in advance [22:44] ikonia: I thought some servers are able to change encoding on the fly [22:44] rambo298: i bet you dont removed pam, if so you have a big problem [22:44] maddhat: show me the output of mount in a pastebin please [22:45] Nibz, more than once. I wanted to know if he was the one having the problem or what he was talking about. I'm not attacking him, chill. [22:45] mtrg: they sure can, but that's going to take a large ammount of resources [22:45] iceroot what pkg can i install to get pam back? [22:45] ikonia: any good names for such servers? [22:45] rambo298: with what you think you have REMOVED pam? [22:45] Daughain, no worries mate, if you need more help let me know. [22:45] ikonia: i cant mount it tho, its not showing up in dev [22:45] SpaceGhostC2C: you are super cute. [22:45] Spaceghostc2c: alright sorry [22:45] ok guys [22:45] mtrg: I'm not aware of any as wmv is a propratary codec [22:45] dvd on windows is not being shered [22:45] shared [22:45] how do i get it from ubuntu? [22:45] SpaceGhostC2C: I always need help, I just need to find what I need help with next. =) [22:46] maddhat: then you can't be browsing it [22:46] Nibz: /dev is 99.9999999% correct. I would be super surprised if it was not. [22:46] iceroot you assume i was thinking? i panicked when i couldn't login! i removed everything i installed with ldap, but i whacked the pam.d directory [22:46] ikonia: like i said.. odd [22:46] mtrg, here's a hint, see what clients you have available to you on your devices and then find a server compatible, not the otehr way around. [22:46] maddhat: please show me the output of the command "mount" on it's own [22:46] dabaR, what is that supposed to mean? [22:46] ohh [22:46] dabar: Ok great thanks so much for pointion out my stupid error I will try this But what happens when I do get it booted is it not going to presist with the sameproblem? [22:46] Daughain, well we're always here, and you can feel free to PM me anytime you need help. [22:46] SpaceGhostC2C: You somehow come off as being a newcomer to the community, and very eager to help. I find it cute. [22:47] rambo298: hm, use a live-cd or recovery console and check /var/log/auth.log [22:47] rambo298: to see what is wrong [22:47] Nibz: no, it could just as much not be the case that that is the problem. [22:47] ok let me see; this is windows i will switch over and check brb [22:47] But you gotta test that. [22:47] dabaR, I'm not sure if you're being rude, but I think you are. I have been here for quite some time. The length doesn't matter, don't be insulting. [22:47] SpaceGhostC2C: in other words, you remind me of me. [22:48] guys, please drop it [22:48] dabar: OK I will and get back to you on that. Thank you so much for the help. [22:48] rambo298: you can understand german? i wrote an article about using ubuntu with ldap (and kerberos) [22:48] it's a support channel, stick to it [22:48] SpaceGhostC2C: You missed the fun when I set up lanboot on this system. =) [22:48] Daughain, you should pm me to chat about things. Or we can go chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:49] iceroot no i'd have to translate it; but i will try, what's the url for your article? man did i screw myself big time with this one [22:49] hmmm update to 9.10 from 9.04 am I going to cry =) [22:50] Nozy: Maybe, maybe not. Are you prone to crying when there are problems with your computer? [22:50] dabaR: stop it [22:50] ikonia: stop what?

Put the CD in and it automounts under the name (/media/QWBASMM) but when I right click and choose Open with Wine, it gives me a Blocked: not marked as executable. I've tried mounting the CD as mount -o exec, but it says it's read only. What should I do? [22:50] what is channel topic? [22:50] helium3fusion: ubuntu support [22:50] Nozy: no way it is going to make you cry, then. [22:50] conky appearing under desktop background wallpaper (i'm using Compiz to draw wallpaper instead of Nautilus), when i switch to 3d Cube I can see conky, the rest of the time not-so-much. Any ideas? [22:50] helium3fusion: ubuntu-support [22:51] nice... [22:51] dabaR: thianks [22:51] helium3fusion: you can send /topic as a message to the channel to see [22:51] dabaR, do you mind not belittling other bro? It's rude and degrading. [22:51] ikonia: ^ see how he thanked me? [22:51] dabaR: it doesn't matter, you don't speak to people like that [22:51] Like what?

[22:55] iceroot ok txs i'll try to find the pkg name [22:55] rambo298: on jaunty, pam.conf is empty by default [22:55] beeeeeetiiiis [22:56] iceroot i'll be back, but i am sure it is because i whacked the pam directory and pam.conf in /etc ... bad move i know [22:56] jage, it'd be only for the time it's mounted. I think so though. [22:56] anyone? [22:56] rambo298: always create a file like pam.conf.old before doing changes [22:56] i only need the execute bit for the install, so a mount is OK, but mount -o exec fails saying the CD is read only [22:56] iceroot i think i should always think before i delete things ... that is the first step; gray matter first, fingers second! [22:57] rambo298: that is a good start ;) [22:57] VCoolio, thanks for the suggestion - no dice unfortunately.

[22:59] newfierich: sounds good if it is working [23:00] jage, chmod -x foo [23:00] connection manager does no give me any networks to connect too ... [23:00] Oh cool, there's actually a nice guide on stuff there [23:00] newfierich: but showing the card?

You are sure you have wireless card working in Ubuntu? [23:05] newfierich: if you card is working ... and network manager does not show any connections, try wicd as an alternative.

[23:11] yes, Please don't tell people to "google it" [23:11] what file system should be used for the boot partition? [23:11] Ive had to reinstall my win7/ubuntu laptop, and for some reason I`m getting this (http://imagebin.org/84589) and when trying to add a partition in the last unallocated space it tells me I cant add anymore primary, but ive made extended, which holds home/swap... this is the same partition setup I used last time and I never saw any unallocated spaces inbetween the partitions like that.. [23:11] dabaR: I've been here for years ;) [23:11] renegaid: ext4 [23:11] renegaid, depends on what your kernel has support for [23:11] renegaid, I'd stick with ext2 or ext3 [23:12] dabaR: why ext4? [23:12] ardchoille: that is not what it used to say a long time ago. [23:12] disconnect [23:12] SpaceGhostC2C: kernel supports everything [23:12] dc0m: I think that is the default for ubuntu now. [23:12] !fs [23:12] iceroot, yeah. but as a rule of thumb, not all kernels support everything. [23:12] hi [23:12] SpaceGhostC2C: all kernels support ext2-4 and some others [23:12] so basically it doesn't matter? [23:12] dabaR: i use ext3, sometimes ext2. So its pretty much up to you.... [23:12] SpaceGhostC2C: the problem is with grub. it does not have a stage for everything :) [23:12] dabaR, the reason I wouldn't use ext4 for my /boot is because it's not stable yet. [23:13] SpaceGhostC2C: i agree. [23:13] iceroot, ext4 only since rather recent though [23:13] renegaid: well, you should probably use what ubuntu uses by default. [23:13] renegaid: use ext* [23:13] SpaceGhostC2C, does grub2 support ext4 already? [23:13] renegaid: but you could use something else if you want. [23:13] Seveas: on all supported ubuntu-versions kernel support ext4 [23:13] renegaid, maybe. I use ext3 because it's stable. [23:13] Just anecdotal, but I'm running ext4 and grub2. Works fine for me. [23:13] Seveas: 8.04 can handle ext4 also [23:13] it doesn't say what is default [23:13] iceroot, I'm fairly sure dapper (6.04, still supported) doesn't :) [23:13] renegaid: what ubuntu are you gonna install? [23:13] Seveas: it should at leat the ubuntu patched version :) or we all would be in much trouble [23:14] erUSUL, kk :) [23:14] ext4 is generally the default. Honestly, I don't think it makes much difference. [23:14] iceroot, I don't just use ubuntu. I run my own lfs distro for personal use among other things. So it's not a bandaid solution. Best idea is to let him know the ubuntu specific kernel has support, but not all. [23:14] 9.10 [23:14] Seveas: the server-edition, yes you are correct, its still supported (imo) [23:14] renegaid: and why do you need to know what type to use? [23:14] renegaid: I don't think the installer asks that. [23:14] All linux distros are flexible enough to fit them to your needs. So using ext4 just because Ubuntu use it as default is not a good reason. [23:14] iceroot, for anout 15.5 more months :) [23:14] renegaid, if you want to live on the bleeding edge, try ext4 it's unstable but kinda cool and fast. If you want stable, go with ext3. [23:14] SpaceGhostC2C: this is ubuntu-support, so ubuntu is default distri [23:14] dc0m: All is pretty encompassing, I'd say most. [23:15] SpaceGhostC2C: let me correct this, ubuntu is the only distri here [23:15] que cosa es esta [23:15] iceroot, Good job. Yes, this is ubuntu, but also I wouldn't pass on information that's only ubuntu specific as if it's true in all linux. I'd make sure to communicate that. [23:15] SpaceGhostC2C, ext4 is definitely not unstable [23:15] !es administrador [23:15] !es | administrador [23:15] administrador: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[23:16] Seveas, umm, have they fixed some of the data loss bugs and other fails in the last two weeks? [23:16] SpaceGhostC2C, so? That happens with any fs :) [23:16] lol no [23:16] SpaceGhostC2C: yes; 32 has no problems at all. and the important bugfixes where backported to 31 [23:17] SpaceGhostC2C: also use jfs for a while and talk about a carppy fs ;P [23:17] Seveas, my experience is that ext4 broke on me consistently for 17 reinstalls until I just went ext3. Plus my ext3 filesystems haven't broken ever. [23:17] Seveas: ext4 is not recomended i production evironment. [23:17] in* [23:17] SpaceGhostC2C, lucky you :) ext3 cost me quite a bit of data (I was young and naive and didn't use backups :)) [23:18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [23:18] Seveas, I've found that I'm a lucky person. [23:18] I'll see if the newer ext4 isn't as fail as the previous. [23:18] * erUSUL lost some pr0n once too [23:18] do not [23:18] ;P [23:18] hee hee [23:18] administrador: what language? [23:18] "On 15 January 2010, Google announced that it would upgrade its storage infrastructure from ext2 to ext4.[7]" [23:18] dabaR: is spanish [23:18] But, I still say if you need some stability, then ext3 until ext4 has more time being stable under it's belt. [23:18] not that one companys opinion says all, but they do carry some weight :) [23:19] ext4 will certanly replace ext3, but it will be some time until that happens.

[23:19] SpaceGhostC2C, that is true too [23:19] no hay nadie [23:19] SpaceGhostC2C: that was my point, its up to them.

[23:20] Honestly, once I had a major external hard drive fail, I decided to set up a real backup server. After that - I was a lot less worried about filesystem details. (rsync'd nightly, with dynamic snapshots taken and not overwritten for 30 days) [23:20] EPAstor: raid's nice too... imo. [23:20] EPAstor: drive failures shouldn't be something you should worry about [23:20] erUSUL, anytime a cluster goes down in google they have more ready that are set up. The only real problem was in the last year the load balance was focusing to a specific group of clusters overloading them and leaving others idle. [23:20] my ingles es malo perdon [23:20] seryl: Sure... I didn't mention that the backup server is running a mirrored pair. [23:21] SpaceGhostC2C: Seveas they've got journal-less ext4 mode coded just for them (google used ext2 becouse of this) [23:21] erUSUL, as I said: they arry some weight :) [23:21] administrator: type /j #ubuntu-es [23:21] erUSUL, why would I want to use it without the journal? Silly.. [23:21] jage: I think he said noone is there. [23:21] SpaceGhostC2C: well if google do it there is food for thought [23:22] administrador: Maybe later someone will be in ubuntu-es [23:22] We've all been offtopic for so long. Can we move it to #ubuntu-offtopic, but not drop the subject? [23:22] SpaceGhostC2C, in a system where you can live with dataloss, it's fine. Google's BigTable is one of those systems. [23:22] dabaR: not true i'm op there. [23:22] erUSUL: I thought he said that... [23:22] no one is there vs. no one is answering [23:22] can someone tell me a graphical GTK-based FTP client that's in the repo i can grab to use? [23:22] OK, well, all you need to do is get him there somehow :) [23:22] Seveas, totally. I agree, hence why I said it earlier. But I doubt the original asker has that sort of system. [23:22] dabaR: he must have misstyped channel name. he did not enter the channel [23:23] hehe, I don't even remember who the original asker was. The discussion was too good for those details ;) [23:23] How can I force a Current Working Directory for an Application Menu item? [23:23] Seveas: a common missconception. journal does not prevent data loss it only prevents big fsck after unclean shutdwon [23:23] I'm glad I was a part of it. Can we keep going, but in offtopic? [23:24] erUSUL, replaying the journal avoids dataloss [23:24] not prevents, but avoids :) [23:24] hey all does some know the best way to over ride the "not enough free disk space" error on the upgrade ?

[23:33] !best | andrew__ [23:33] andrew__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:33] Its like... unless my problem is "Omg ubuntu just crashed my computer, its not booting anymore" I can't get the easy answers in here heh. [23:33] ldlework: have you tried creating a small script to do a 'cd' etc. then using the application launcher to start the script. [23:33] Heh [23:33] neil_d, tada, good idea. [23:33] hi, I need help with ubuntu, i get error "Grub Loading - error: no such partition and then the grub rescue prompt [23:33] I should have thought of that [23:34] i really did a lot of modifications to 8.04, changed ttys configurations, xorg.conf, xsession, omg. [23:35] and I'm doing all this to compile a stable version of vlc mozilla plugin [23:35] Bertram, what operating systems do you have? on which partitions? pastebin fdisk -l output [23:35] is this the right place to get assistance with the grub loader problem I have?

[23:38] i have to press f12 at boot to boot from cd [23:38] mkanyicy is right, Bertram. You need to hit (probably) DEL or F12 when your PC is just startinmg and then adjust the BIOS to boot from CD first. [23:38] Bertram, thats fine then [23:39] the hdd that had ubuntu and xp installed [23:39] Bertram, how did the error occure? What made it happen? [23:39] Bertram, and you formated in now? [23:39] Hi!

[23:44] umm, what are you trying? [23:44] booting from CD? [23:44] i cant understand why pc wont boot from cd [23:44] Bertram, as a rough suggestion, you should not format a drive if you still want to boot from it [23:44] you need to tell it in BIOS settings [23:44] the HDD is bootable after all [23:45] only the bootloader has nothing to boot [23:45] i tried as i have read other forms and nothing helps [23:46] still stuck at grub rescue prompt [23:46] i can't get gdm to start =| [23:47] xserver starts... i think [23:47] You think?
